This annual project is more than just delivering a Christmas parcel, it’s a way of checking in on some of our most vulnerable residents and gives us the opportunity to have a chat.
Haydon Wick Parish Council successfully delivered the traditional Christmas Parcel Scheme again this year, spreading festive cheer and goodwill to those residents in need across the Parish.
Councillors, Staff and Volunteers worked hard to pack and deliver the parcels on Friday 15th and Saturday 16th December 2022, to make sure the community project continued to help those over 70 years old, who live alone within the Parish.
Chairman of the Council, Councillor Vinay Manro said:
“This winter has continued to bring challenges for many. The Council is proud to be able to continue with this long-standing tradition in bringing some festive cheer and goodwill to some of those who are most in need within our parish. This annual project is more than just delivering a Christmas parcel, it’s a way of checking in on some of our most vulnerable residents and gives us the opportunity to have a chat. Most of all it’s reassuring for our residents to know there is a friendly face available should they need support”.
The community Christmas project delivered over 130 parcels to residents across the parish. The packages included festive food and other treats. The Council has been humbled by the generosity of its volunteers and local groups who come together every year to help with this project and would like to pass on their thanks to: Morrisons and the Redeemed Christian Church of God for their very generous donations.
