The Bankside Christmas Gift Appeal is back for 2025! First, we need your help to make sure every local charity and community organisation has gifts for their Christmas celebrations.
Click here to donate now and help us reach everyone in need.

We also need your help to ensure that every gift is wrapped and packed, ready for delivery in time for festive celebrations at every charity, hostel and community organisation supported.  Join other Banksiders at one of these popular volunteering sessions to wrap gifts donated by Bankside businesses.
Session time: 12:00pm – 2:00pm
Location: Arch 23 (entrance via Flat Iron Square), 45 Southwark Street, London, SE1 9HP

We’ll provide everything you need—wrapping paper, tape, scissors, and of course, the gifts. Not confident in your wrapping skills? No problem! You can help with other tasks like counting and packing parcels ready for delivery.
