Delivering baskets of food, love and hope to those in need at Christmas
Basket Brigade UK is a loving, charitable organisation who deliver baskets of food, love and hope on December 23rd every year to those who could really do with a helping hand at Christmas.
But in an ideal world, Basket Brigade wouldn’t exist.
Sadly, Christmas time for many isn’t the happy time it should be. It’s a time of struggle, a time of sadness. Many can’t even put a meal on the table for their families or even themselves, let alone buy presents.
At BB UK we believe this shouldn’t happen. They shouldn’t have to go hungry when there are dedicated, caring people like you and us. So we do our best to make sure thousands don’t go hungry at Christmas.
We hope you can join us because the day itself is like no other.
Hundreds and hundreds of people (600-800) come together for one day and help create between 1000 -1500 baskets of food which they later deliver to those in need.
It’s a hard working but fun day and it is so rewarding to those who volunteer.
Basket Brigade UK cannot take place without your valuable support and your generous donations
100% of our charity is run by volunteers
100% of the donations go towards the event
It costs around £20,000 to make the event happen
Those who give their time for this day will tell you just how much fun they have and how much they get back.
In fact they get so much out of it, they come back for more, as about 50% of the volunteers have done it before!
We understand that not everybody can make it on the day, especially as it is only 2 days before Christmas.
But even if you’re not there, you can play your part by donating towards a basket of food, which costs about £20.
We know there are lots of you who would love to get involved with BB UK on December 23rd but don’t live near London. The good news is, there are other BB’s around the UK and there may be one near you.
