OUR PROMISE TO YOU

For our neighbours.
Not for profit.

We’re a small, volunteer-run charity with a simple belief: a town like ours looks after its own.

The story behind Impact

Every pound stays close to home.

Your generosity supports families in Buckingham and the surrounding villages.

Dignity comes first. Always.

Trusted local schools identify families, so support reaches the right people without judgement.

Your kindness goes further.

Our founders and trustees cover running costs separately. Public donations fund hampers and family support.

THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY

Not all giving
comes with a pound sign.

Something to spare. A skill to share. A little time to give. There’s a place for you in our community.

01

Give something practical.

From fresh food to festive treats, good-quality supplies make our hampers special. Tell us what you can offer and we’ll arrange the details.

Become a supplier
02

Give a little of your time.

A few spare hours can go a long way. Help with packing, deliveries or the behind-the-scenes work that brings a campaign together.

Let’s talk volunteering
03

Make kindness contagious.

Run, bake, quiz or take on a challenge. Create a JustGiving page and bring your friends, colleagues and neighbours along with you.
