Caterham

Will you help us reach the children in Caterham and surrounding districts who will not have presents to open on Christmas morning? Or food for Christmas Lunch?

Many more families are struggling this Christmas as a result of COVID-19 and we need your help with toys, food and hygiene items over Christmas. Please join with us to give some festive cheer to others!   

This year we are running our Christmas Appeal slightly differently to minimise COVID-19 risks to ourselves and the families that we are helping. We encourage you to give “multi-store gift vouchers” or money to enable us to be more flexible in our approach.

You can donate via our Community Just Giving Page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/caterham-corps-the-salvation-army  
or make cheque donations, payable to Caterham Salvation Army, and drop off at 92 Banstead Road, Caterham CR3 5QE marked Christmas Present Appeal on the envelope.

If you have already purchased your gifts, please call Ailsa on 01883 330718 to arrange a time to bring them to 92 Banstead Road, Caterham, Surrey, CR3 5QE, where they will be quarantined before matching to children referred to us.

If you are struggling and would like help over Christmas, with food, toys or household hygiene items please call Ailsa to explore what we can do together to ease the struggle.   

Caterham Salvation Army works with some of the most vulnerable people in our community, as well as those impacted by COVID-19. As we continue to work through the worst health crisis of our lifetime, people need us now more than ever.
 
Working together with other organisations locally we can offer support through Caterham food-bank, with household cleaning and personal hygiene items, helping off-set food poverty during school holidays, phone calls to those isolated and lonely, giving advise and signposting on to organisations that can help with issues such as debt, benefit applications and relationship issues. We provide the opportunity to talk through issues, to seek prayer and spiritual support.  

We are able to do this because of the generosity of people like you locally. Do please help us to be here for others by making a donation on our Just giving Page Caterham JustGiving page and donate what you can. 

Or drop a cheque (made payable to Caterham Salvation Army) off at 92 Banstead Road, Caterham CR3 5QE.  

Many thanks for your generosity.
