'Bags OF GoodNess'
Christmas 2020
We were very pleased to be working in partnership with Polegate Sundowners WI to launch our brand-new venture which brought more joy to others this Christmas for the first year of many!
We have now launched our brand-new community initiative to support the wider community! We did this in December 2020 because as you know 2020 was a struggle for many!
We delivered 20 Christmas Gift Bags to those who may benefit from a few extra gifts. These bags included gifts and treats for all the family as we do hope we brightened their festive season.
We also delivered another 20 of these as a ‘Thank You’ to those who made a difference in our communities. For example, thanking fundraisers who have enabled charities to remain stable and thanking volunteers for their hard work and efforts to assist others in these unprecedented times.
Nominations were sent in from the people of Polegate and many local individuals, groups and businesses supported us by donating food items, gifts and money in which we used to brighten Christmas for many local people.
Through online shopping, local residents and local businesses supported our first ever 'Bags of Goodness' Appeal enabling us to collect deliveries and collate all the donated item which were then placed in seperate 'Bags of Goodness'
Supported by:
Cllr D Watts (Mayor of Polegate Town Council)
Archer & Partners
Home + Castle
Co-Op Funeralcare (Polegate)
Polegate Residents' Association
Morrisons Eastbourne
Cornerstone Building Contractors
+ Many more local businesses and people of Polegate
