A Gift For All Christmas Appeal
Donate a gift and help spread some festive cheer
Building on the heart-warming generosity from our community in past years, this festive season Merton Giving has teamed up with Wimbledon Quarter, previously Centre Court Shopping Centre, to encourage local people and local businesses to extend a helping hand by gifting a Christmas Gift to those in our community who may otherwise go without.
The Gift For All Christmas Appeal will work alongside local charities to distribute gifts to help spread some festive cheer.
Organisations including Commonside Trust, Friends in St Helier, Merton and Morden Guild, Polish Family, Sustainable Merton and Age UK Merton are on-board to distribute gifts to their clients in need and help spread some festive cheer.
