Wrapping Christmas Gifts for Homeless Families

Depaul

About Depaul

Depaul is a homeless charity providing accommodation and support through hostels and outreach services. Depaul believes that everyone should have a place to call home and a stake in their community. Our aim is to work with those who are socially excluded and marginalised by providing a quality led service in order to produce the best possible outcomes for those accessing our services. We work in partnership with central and local government, housing associations and other non-governmental organisations such as the society of St Vincent de Paul.

What's Involved

Every year we ensure that all of our service users receives a gift at Christmas time, and that Santa brings something special for any of the children of our Service Users.

We need volunteers in the 2nd or 3rd week of December to come in for a few hours and help us to sort and wrap donated gifts.

Help make someone’s Christmas extra special this year!
