Light up a Life at Christmas

Since 2014, our annual appeal has grown into a very successful campaign. The Vintners’ Company’s contribution, through the generosity of its members, is now recognised by the Salvation Army as a significant factor in their ability to support children at Christmas.

2024, marked the 10th anniversary of our appeal, and we were so pleased that the anniversary coincided with surpassing the £100,000.00 milestone in total monies raised - a fantastic achievement.

However, the need for our support has not diminished so please help us make a difference by making your donation. To do so, scroll to the bottom of this page.

The Vintners Company Christmas Present Wrapping Day

As part of this appeal, from your donations we buy children’s presents which are then distributed closer to Christmas. Naturally, they need wrapping so a highlight in the Company calendar is our present ‘Wrapping Day’. This is a lovely, fun event attended by members and their guests.

You don’t need to be able to wrap; there are plenty more ways to help on the day. Refreshments and a light lunch is provided so if you can spare a few hours, please do come along. More information and registration HERE
