The Lodge are forging ties with the Chiltern Toy Bank with a view to helping the charity over the festive season.

We are looking for volunteers to help wrap up Christmas Presents and also to deliver them to deserving cases in the HP5,6,7,8 and 16 areas.

You will need to complete a quick volunteer form. You can follow this link to a Google Form, please complete the form and Sam Horseman from the charity will be in touch.

You will be asked a few simple questions.

Let’s make sure we help the local community this coming festive season. Some further information is below:-

Back in July, Giles Harvey of the Chiltern Toy Bank attended our post LOI Festival “White Table” to talk about the amazing work the charity engages in.

The bottom line is, with the continuing cost of living crisis, for many families, Christmas is not a time of joy, but of stress. Families are concerned as to how they can make Christmas special for their children. Just the simple act of buying a few gifts can be a real challenge. Especially if a child has their heart set on a particular present from Santa.

The charity has been collecting donations during the year and hopes to exceed last years’ figure of 600 donations.
