The Beaconsfield Christmas Gift Box Appeal has launched for its second year, with the aim of bringing festive cheer to more older residents across Beaconsfield and the surrounding area.
Building on last year’s success, the appeal will support older people attending local lunch clubs or day care, those living alone and those who are housebound.
Members of the community can help by making a Christmas Gift Box and taking it to one of three local drop-off points. Alternatively, supporters can make a donation so the organisers can prepare a box on their behalf.

This year also sees the launch of the first Beaconsfield Christmas Silent Auction, raising funds to create more gift boxes.

• A VIP Bolton Wanderers matchday experience for four, worth over £800.

• LIVBETTER wellness and sports recovery experiences.
• Bosch kitchen appliances, donated by Schmidt Beaconsfield.
• Afternoon tea, restaurant experiences, shopping vouchers, family days out and more.

Every winning bid will help fund Christmas Gift Boxes for older residents in the local community.

Bidding closes on Sunday 29 November.
