Christmas Day at Jacksons Lane
This year, our staff and volunteers will be delivering Christmas hampers and gifts to 200 isolated adults in the borough.
For Jacksons Lane in-person event, we will welcome 100 guests to a Christmas Day lunch full of festive spirit, food and entertainment.
At the very heart of this event is a volunteering spirit, and we simply would not be able to hold this annual event without your help. Last year, over 150 volunteers helped us deliver 204 festive hampers, provide a Christmas Day lunch for 100 guests and help us spread joy on the day!
There is a range of different roles both in the run up to the event, and on the day itself. We need present wrappers, cooks, bakers, decorators and table hosts. We are particularly in need of drivers to help our vulnerable guests travel to and from Jacksons Lane on Christmas Day, and to deliver our hampers.
PLEASE NOTE, APPLICATIONS FOR ALL VOLUNTEER ROLES ARE NOW CLOSED. APPLICATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS 2026 WILL OPEN IN SEPTEMBER.
A taste of our Christmas cheer
Because of social distancing measures in 2021, we were unable to have people in our building as usual. This didn’t stop us from supporting people in need during the festive period and we reached more older adults than ever.
It took some doing, but we were able to create and distribute 309 festive hampers, crammed full of food, drink and gifts, as well as a doorstep chat, on Christmas Day.
Since then, we have been back in the building, hosting 100 guests in our beautiful Studio 1 each year, as well as delivering 200 hampers, and with your help we hope to do the same again this year.
Please contact [email protected] if you’d like to refer an adult in need on Christmas Day.
