We are in the lucky position of having enough volunteers for this years Christmas meal and the preparation days running up to it.  We appreciate that you may now not be able to help in person, so please consider donating something from the list attached above.  Thank you !

Christmas can be a difficult time for our clients and families as it reminds many of friends and relations that are no longer in contact or have moved out of their lives.


Grantham Passage provides a freshly prepared meal on Christmas Day for our clients that we support and always make it as special as possible.  Our sit-down meal is traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings including home made stuffing and cranberry sauce.  


For the families that we support we provide all the key components of a Christmas meal (meat joint, vegetables, yorkshires and condiments), plus treats and snacks as well as presents for any children that are in the house.  These are delivered prior to Christmas so its ready for the big day.

Would you like to help ?

As already mentioned we try to make Christmas Day as special as we can for our clients.  Just as you would do at home we do the meal, plus present packs and treats and make sure that the hall and tables are festively decorated.  


We normally expect to have around 50 clients in the hall on the day so a lovely, busy atmosphere.  Family deliveries are done in the previous days, as mentioned, to make sure they have all they need.


​​We write a christmas card for each of the clients that we will be looking after as for many, this is the only card that they will receive.

Its important to ensure we provide a present for everyone as well which we give out to them on the day.  We give out warm clothing (such as hats, scarves and gloves), toiletries, chocolates and sweets and other small gifts.  All the presents are wrapped the day before and divided into male, female and children's presents.  

Grantham Passage Christmas Appeal 2024


As we are a charity that is entirely funded by donations from the local community, we welcome any assistance in making Christmas Day come to life.  Each year we have more people attend the meal that need our help and support.


We would gratefully receive donations of either food or supermarket vouchers to allow us to purchase the fresh food during the Christmas week.  Our Christmas meal is freshly cooked so items such as :

  • Items for the main meal - Turkey crowns, sausages, bacon and vegetables
  • Items for the tables - Sweets, chocolates or festive treats


As we provide gifts for all our clients for them to take away, any items on the following list would be appreciated :

  • Male or female individual toiletries or toiletry sets 
  • Childrens gifts (boys and girls) as we support families as well
  • Disposable hand warmers, small first aid kits or similar
  • Bars of chocolate or sweets in general (our clients have a sweet tooth!)
  • Male or female small gifts or stocking fillers





We would be very grateful for anything that you could provide to make this a very special day.  We can arrange collection of items if this is more convenient for you (or you are unable to get the items to us).
