Help make Christmas happen for local families
For more than 13 years, amazing people like you have helped bring joy, dignity and a little Christmas magic to Northampton families who might otherwise face a very different Christmas.
This year, you can be part of it!
Growbaby
Christmas Boutique
Help put something under the tree for a local child this Christmas
Our Christmas Boutique gives parents and carers facing financial hardship the chance to choose presents for their own children. Each family will receive a gift bundle worth around £30, filled with toys, cuddly toys and other carefully chosen presents.
Festive Family
Fun Day
Give a family a Christmas treat to remember
Our Festive Fun Day gives local families the chance to enjoy a day of festive fun, food and celebration. For some of the families we support, this could be the only Christmas party they attend this year.
The Well
Christmas Lunch
Help us set a place at the table this Christmas
Your donation will help us provide a hot Christmas lunch for people we have walked alongside throughout the year, giving them a warm meal, friendship and time to sit and chat with our volunteers.
However you give, you’ll be helping Restore Northampton make Christmas brighter for families we walk alongside throughout the year.
A small gift can become part of something much bigger. £5 can help fill a gift bundle. £10 can bring extra joy. £30 can help give a parent presents to put under the tree for their child.
When lots of local people give what they can, Christmas starts to look very different for families under real pressure.
Together, we can bring more joy, more dignity and more of that special Christmas feeling to families across Northampton.
Choose how you’d like to help
Every gift you give helps us fill the Growbaby Christmas Boutique with brilliant presents for local children. Choose an amount and we’ll use your donation to help create gift bundles that parents and carers can choose from for their children this Christmas.
A little glimpse of the difference you made
-
“We knew the girls would receive something for Christmas, but we had nothing we could give them ourselves. Coming here meant we could choose gifts from ‘Mummy and Daddy’. It lifted such a huge weight and took away so much of the stress and guilt.”
-
“My relationship had just ended, I was about to give birth and money was really tight. Being able to choose gifts for my child took away so much worry and meant he still had something special to open on Christmas morning. It meant I could give him the Christmas I desperately wanted him to have.”
-
“Last Christmas, I was really struggling to afford presents. The Gift Giveaway had exactly what my son had wished for, a marble run. Seeing his face when he opened it was something I’ll never forget.”
