Leeway Christmas Appeal 2019

24 October 2019
christmas presents

Following on from the success in previous years, we have launched our 2019 Christmas Appeal, collecting donations for those experiencing domestic abuse living in refuge and the community. We were overwhelmed by the excellent support that we received last year, and your generosity was greatly appreciated by our service users. We hope that the appeal will prove to be just as successful this year, spreading some festive cheer to our service users, and contributing to an enjoyable Christmas.

Donations

We are accepting a range of items including toys and games, arts and craft materials, toiletries, and tins of biscuits and chocolates.

A full list of items can be found on our poster, but we are only able to accept gifts that are new, unopened and not gift wrapped, due to health and safety regulations.

Collection Points

There are currently two drop-off locations for any donations during opening hours: 

  • 79 Thorpe Road, Norwich, NR1 1UA 
  • The Virgin Money Norwich Lounge, Castle St, Norwich NR2 1PD 

We are hoping to source more collection points across Norfolk. If you know of any businesses or locations that would be interested in having one for us, then please email fundraising@leewaynwa.org.uk or call 0300 561 0077 and select Option 4.

Keep an eye on our social media channels for any additional drop-off locations that are added.

Other Ways to Support Leeway: 

We recently highlighted some ways that you could raise money for Leeway as you shop online. The blog post has more information about how to sign up and the retailers that are participating. It is a great way to raise money for Leeway (at no additional cost to yourself) whilst doing some Christmas shopping. 

Supporters can also hold their own events to raise money for Leeway! In the past we have had bingo nights, quiz nights, cake sales and fun run challenges. More ideas can be found in our fundraising pack, which can be downloaded on our Fundraising Page.
