Ensuring everyone feels warmth, belonging and connection this winter
This past Winter, we were proud to partner with The Warm Welcome Campaign for the first time.
United by our shared mission that everyone should feel warmth, belonging, and connection during the winter months, we partnered with The Warm Welcome Campaign to help communities across the UK create inviting spaces to being people together, access essential products and feel cared for.
Through sharing a hot drink, hot food, getting creative with art materials, or receiving gifts – from toothpaste to slippers – we wanted everyone to find a place of belonging so that nobody would feel alone.
We would like to thank our incredible corporate partners
Through their generous donations of essentials such as toilet roll, kitchen roll, food containers, pens, laundry items, washing up liquid, deodorant, toys, games and more, we were able to support 2,989 charitable organisations across our network (including 201 Warm Welcome spaces).
Together, £5.5M worth of products were distributed, including £302K for Warm Welcome spaces – helping vital services stretch their resources even further.
Your donations bought smiles, comfort and warmth to a number of communities around the UK! We couldn’t have done it without you.

“Our order consisted of Loo Roll and Washing Up Liquid – two of the products needed to run our community drop in through the winter. We also accessed toiletries, which we split up to support those on allow income.”
– Bishop Auckland Baptist Church Community Hub
“Having these items available has reduced anxiety for guests who were worried about affording hygiene products, and it has helped us make out Warm Welcome space feel more inclusive, respectful and practically supportive for people facing financial hardship.”

Thank you for your support
