Be a Santa: Spread Joy This Christmas!

Christmas is a time for giving, connection, and community spirit. At Home Instead Shrewsbury, Ludlow, and Oswestry, we’re thrilled to launch our annual Be a Santa Campaign, and we need your help to make it the most successful year yet!

What Is Be a Santa?

The Be a Santa Campaign is all about spreading Christmas cheer to older adults and those in need within our local community who might otherwise feel forgotten during the festive season. Your generosity can bring a smile to someone’s face, reminding them that they are cared for and valued.

How You Can Get Involved

Getting involved is simple and heartwarming! Visit one of our collection points, choose a gift to donate, and help make Christmas brighter for someone in need. Every small gesture makes a big difference.

Our Collection Points

We’ve partnered with local businesses and organizations to make donating convenient. Drop off your gifts at any of the following collection points:

  • One Stop in Craven Arms
  • One Stop in Oswestry
  • Coop at Radbrook Green
  • All Saints Church in Baschurch

Each location will have a clearly marked donation box for your contributions.

What Kind of Gifts Can You Donate?

We’re looking for thoughtful and practical items that will bring joy this Christmas. Here are some ideas:

  • Warm scarves, hats, and gloves
  • Toiletry sets and skincare items
  • Books, puzzles, or games
  • Festive treats like chocolates and biscuits
  • Personal notes or Christmas cards

Please ensure all gifts are new, unwrapped, and suitable for older adults or those in need.

When Is the Collection Period?

The campaign runs until 18th December 2024, giving you plenty of time to participate and make a difference.

Why It Matters

For many people, especially older adults and vulnerable individuals, Christmas can be a challenging time, filled with feelings of loneliness or loss. By participating in our Be a Santa campaign, you’re not just giving a gift—you’re giving hope, connection, and the true spirit of Christmas.

Join Us in Making a Difference

Let’s come together as a community and show that no one is forgotten this Christmas. Whether you donate one gift or several, your kindness will make a lasting impact this festive season.
