What is All Wrapped Up?

All Wrapped Up is a project of Riverside Church working with our local schools and partners in Herne Bay and Whitstable to provide Christmas presents, food vouchers and treat bags to families in need.

In 2024 the parents and carers of over 550 referred children came to Riverside and chose presents at our free Winter Wonderland (click here to see how we do this). We also gave over 200 families food vouchers & treat bags to feed over 800 people.

This is only possible thanks to the generosity and support of the local community.

If you feel that due to your circumstances that you could benefit from All Wrapped Up then please speak with your school or setting, health visitor, or social worker. We are unable to accept self-referrals.

How can I help?

You can support All Wrapped Up by donating a gift or stocking filler for a child or young person aged 0-17 years, up to a value of about £30. Please see below for collection points.

Financial Donation

Sponsor a Family

To provide gifts, treats and a food voucher for a typical family of four costs £120. Would your workplace or club consider sponsoring a family this Christmas time, maybe instead of sending Christmas cards to each other?
