Big Red Boxes

brb — Big Red Box, open in LDC office, before distribution to a client

Big Red Boxes is a Kings Church London Christmas initiative supporting those in the local community who might otherwise go without during the festive period by collecting food and distributing Christmas hampers through partner organisations. Many of our clients have been affected by increased cost of living and benefit changes so Lewisham Disability Coalition was pleased to be a partner in December 2015 and distributed boxes right across the borough.

Individual donations

As with previous years our Christmas cards included a number of small but greatly appreciated individual donations from friends of LDC. Thanks to everyone who did so and those who contribute throughout the year. We are grateful for all your support.

Sale of crocheted goods

In addition to mass ukelele-strumming for charities across Lewisham the Catford Charity Strummer is a prolific crocheter. Our fundraising this year has benefited from sale of her crocheted goods.
