Windsor Give & Gift 2025
The Christmas Give and Gift event took place at The Manor Family Hub on Friday 12th December, the event supported 70 families who are currently living in challenging circumstances. In total approx. 150 children and young people benefitted from the scheme.
A few comments from very happy recipients:
- Amazing staff and amazing gifts, everyone is so friendly and you feel comfortable. Thank you.
- Amazing opportunity for me to get some help. Thank you
- Nothing at all, it was just a fantastic event and it really matters to experience that people do care
- Just how lovely the staff are, the huge selection of the most beautiful and fun presents. I will have a very happy little girl at Christmas
- The staff are so friendly and there was so much choice for all ages.
The event running in its third year saw local community groups including Achieving for Children, Abri Housing, The Baby Bank, Tesco, West Windsor Hub and Windsor Lions joining again in partnership to deliver a Christmas shopping event where parents could attend in person and choose gifts for their children, this also included a wrapping service.
The event shows the true power of community engagement with referrals being received from all areas including children’s services, education and local community groups.
We recognise that this time of year for many can be additionally challenging so this event aims to alleviate some of that pressure and empower families to decide what their children open on Christmas Day.
We thank all those organisations who contributed and supported the event, particularly The Baby Bank who provided the majority of gifts through their partners, the kind customers of Tesco, Dedworth through their donations and Windsor Lions who provided a very generous amount of vouchers.
We hope all those who attended the event greatly benefitted.
