We know a lot of you are working particularly hard over the festive period, from foodbanks and toy drives to Christmas dinners and lending a hand or an ear to those with extra needs at this time of year. Our team have been busy at work too, with new tools and support for our community with more additions to come at the start of the new year. As always we are 100% committed to supporting your goals, keeping you doing amazing things in your community and are excited to be doing even more of this in 2026.

All the team here at Localgiving wish you a Merry Christmas and a positive and happy new year!
