Christmas
Last year, your donations had a great impact
207 presents delivered by Santa to children
280 meals served over Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and during a special Ukrainian Christmas event in St Austell
116 food hampers received by families in need
123 goodie bags filled with a gift, toiletries, and sweet treats for those who may not have received any other gifts
This year, our challenge is to do it all again! There are still people who are lonely during the festive season or can't afford a warm meal at one of the coldest times of the year.
With your help, we can change that! Donate what you can to our Christmas appeal and help us support our community with some seasonal cheer.
£8 provides a for a sit-down Christmas meal for one
£10 provides a bag of gift-wrapped presents and sweet treats for someone to open on Christmas morning
£15 provides a home-delivered food hamper to help with costs over the festive period
£20 provides a food and fuel voucher for emergencies
£30 provides a sit-down Christmas meal for a family of 4
If you can donate through our Crowdfunder, CN4C will the Aviva Community Fund will match your donation to us!

Volunteer
Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change connects people with opportunity and invests in communities.
Volunteering is a great way to develop new skills, contribute your experience and give back to your community. You could be someone who is looking to build their confidence, add work experience to your CV; get more involved in your local community or just want to meet like-minded people. We welcome volunteers to help run the community larder, community meals, social groups, activities and to support our crisis management team and administration team.
Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change is also working with Age UK to recruit Community Welfare Volunteers for a Home and Hospital Discharge Scheme to make sure patients that have recently been discharged from hospital are settled and well. As a Community Welfare volunteer you’ll be providing companionship and welfare checks to make sure that people are making a good recovery. Volunteers under this scheme will be supported by Age UK’s Home and Hospital team.
Tempo Time Credits
Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change is part of the Tempo Time Credits scheme. So any volunteering you do with us will be recognised through the credit scheme: for every hour you volunteer, you’ll receive one time credit.
The time credits you accrue can be exchanged for vouchers for a range of activities such as cinema tickets, entry to attractions, childrens’ holiday clubs and food offers with local and national scheme partners.
