This year, HealthBus has joined forces with over 40 local agencies and organisations to support the Christmas Hamper Appeal 2024. Together, we are making a significant impact on families in crisis across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole.

Thanks to the generous contributions of Zest, Howdens, Patch, and Aldridge Brownlee Solicitors, the appeal will provide 200 hampers, feeding an incredible 775 people in need. Each hamper is designed to support a family of five for five days, offering essential sustenance and a little holiday joy during challenging times.

Between December 18 and 23, an enthusiastic team of 125 volunteers has been working tirelessly—like Santa’s elves—to organise, prep, pack, stock-check, and deliver these special hampers. Their dedication and community spirit ensure that every hamper is thoughtfully prepared and reaches those who need them most.

This remarkable collaboration highlights the power of coming together to support vulnerable families during the festive season. It’s a testament to the compassion and generosity of the BCP community, bringing hope and comfort to those facing hardship.

As we approach Christmas, the HealthBus is proud to play a part in this heartwarming initiative and extends heartfelt thanks to all the partners and volunteers who make this possible. Together, we are spreading the true spirit of Christmas—caring for others and strengthening our community.
