We do welcome donations of gift-wrapping materials to help us prepare for the big day. What should I give? Throughout October of this year, we consulted with our residents to make sure our winter campaign met their needs. As part of this, residents commonly asked for: Toiletries (e.g. shower gel, shampoo, skincare) Festive food and treats (e.g. biscuits, chocolate) Activities (e.g. books, board games) Clothes and accessories (e.g. hats, socks, pyjamas) Homeware (e.g. mugs, bowls) Stationery (e.g. notepads, diaries) For who? We work with a diverse mix of cultures, ages and genders in supported accommodation, plus a smaller number of children aged between 8-17 as part of our children’s residential care service.
