Christmas at LWS

Christmas is a difficult time when you’re homeless. At LWS, we try and make it a little brighter for our guests. Have a look below to see how you could help, too.

Reverse Advent Calendar

Our Reverse Advent Calendar is back for the 7th year running!

This is a fun way of giving during the festive season, either by yourself or with friends, family or co-workers. Each day, you put a different item in a box from 1st to 24th December. We will post an item every day on our social media pages that we are in need of for you to add to your box. Once complete, you can drop your Reverse Advent Calendar to us at our storage unit so we can hand out your donations to our guests or use the items for the running of the shelter.

Play along by visiting our social media pages each day, or fill in our online form if you would like a list of all 24 items in advance.

For information on drop off times and locations, please check back soon.

Volunteering this Christmas

We are always looking for more volunteers! Our service will continue to run throughout Christmas and New Year. Exact arrangements for Christmas are TBC.

We need volunteers to help with cooking, serving and general tasks like setting and clearing up, as well as transporting donations and organising our storage units. If you’d like to get involved, click here.
