Help us to Support the Trussell Trust this Christmas

Posted on November 4, 2022

We are delighted to share with you Saraband’s Christmas charity fundraising drive for 2022.

This Christmas, we are confronted with a daunting crisis of hunger and poverty. After a really generous response to our previous Christmas campaigns for people in need, we are happy to work once again with The Trussell Trust, the leading charity supporting food banks in the UK. When you buy one of our Food Bank Bundles, you make a donation to the Trussell Trust in your loved one’s name as part of their gift.

For those looking to save this Christmas, we are also offering our exclusive Paperback Selection Box and Reading the North Bundle/Selection Box.

Food Bank Book Bundle – £20

Any paperback book + donation to The Trussell Trust

When you choose our Food Bank Book Bundle as a gift, your loved one will receive a paperback book of your choice as well as a donation made in their name to the Trussell Trust. To thank you for your generosity during the season of giving, we’ll include a personalised certificate along with the book, so the recipient knows you donated £8 in their name to the Trussell Trust. Samantha Stapley, the Chief Operations and People Officer at the Trussell Trust, says “Soaring food and fuel costs are affecting us all, but for families on the very lowest incomes this crisis means so much more and more people are likely to need a food bank’s help. The support of  Saraband [through your gifts] will help food banks within our network continue to provide the lifeline of emergency support for local people in crisis.” Thank you!
