We’re so grateful!
We are pleased to report that the 2010 Christmas Appeal organised by Community Action Hinckley & Bosworth, the Salvation Army, Worklink, SureStart and the Hinckley Times was a resounding success. The kindness and generosity of people in Hinckley and Bosworth is very much appreciated. So many people and organisations contributed and as a result 450 people in the Borough received food or toys at Christmas-time. The Earl Shilton and Barwell Lions have been long term supporters of the Appeal and this year they raised money and donated £500. Karl Kings and members of the E/S and Barwell Lions presented a cheque to CAHB and the money raised helped the organisers to buy toys – particularly for those with special needs - and food for those local people who found themselves struggling to cope at Christmas.

Recipients of the food and toy parcels have sent numerous messages of thanks for us to pass on to all those who helped - a selection of them were:

  • Thank you so much to everyone its really, really made a difference this Christmas. Merry Christmas to you all. Thank You
  • Thank you so much for your generosity you have made a huge difference to my Christmas
  • Thank you for your donation it has really helped
  • Myself and my partner would like to express our gratitude and thank everyone who organised and donated these gifts. We don’t have a lot of money and Christmas is always hard. As we can never afford to get our son everything we would like. So a very big ‘thank you’ and Merry Christmas.
  • We are very grateful for any gifts for Christmas and would like to thank everyone involved in making this possible Thanks and Merry Christmas
  • It was a wonderful thing how you have helped so my children can have a better Christmas. Thank you very much. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a very Happy New Year
