SUPPORT US
Join the 1500 Club this Christmas.
Raise £1500 to help Marmalade Trust bring companionship and joy to the loneliest people in our community on Christmas Day.

For 11 years running, Marmalade Trust has brought joy, companionship, and warmth on Christmas Day to those who would otherwise be spending the day alone. Our mission is to invite anyone who would love some company to join us for a free festive lunch on the big day, or a doorstep visit with a friendly volunteer.
Join the club and make a real difference
We're asking you or your organisation to fundraise £1,500 to support the Christmas Cheer project. The 1500 Club is open to anyone looking to make a difference this Christmas.
Your donation of £1,500 will go directly to helping us bring festive cheer to those who would otherwise be alone, including the cost of a Christmas meal in a local pub or restaurant, and a Christmas hamper filled with treats. For most, this will be the only gift they receive.
"It means everything to know someone cares. Without Marmalade Trust, I wouldn't have spoken to or seen anyone over Christmas. I'm so grateful."
How to join the club...

The options are endless! If you're raising money as an individual, you could collect sponsorship for anything from a running challenge to breaking a record for the fastest knitting of a Christmas jumper!
