Giving the gift of joy returns

As part of our ongoing commitment to giving back to our local communities, we are doing our internal Christmas campaign, ‘Giving the gift of joy’ again this year.

Inspired by Dunelm’s Delivering Joy initiative, we’re inviting our suppliers and colleagues to join us in bringing a little extra magic to those who need it most.

Last year, thanks to the generosity of colleagues, we collected 73 gifts that made a real difference. This year, we’re aiming even higher — and with your help, we know we can get there.

How it works

Starting Monday 3 November, a Christmas tree will be set up in the second-floor kitchen at Ongo House, decorated with tags. Each tag represents a person or charity in need and includes details like age, gender, and a gift wish.

Participating charities include:

  • Blue Door
  • RSPCA
  • Cat-titude n Whiskers
  • Lindsey Lodge
  • And many more, including families and individuals connected to The Arc, Viking Centre, Myos House and our Homelessness team

This campaign is more than just gifts — it’s about community, compassion, and connection. By participating, you’ll help bring joy to someone who may otherwise go without this festive season. Your contribution — big or small — could make a huge difference.
