🎄 Give a little help, make a big difference this Christmas Day! ❤️

Fleet Town Council is organising another special Christmas Day event for people in Fleet, Elvetham Heath and Church Crookham who would otherwise be spending the day alone.

To help make this happen, we're looking for kind-hearted volunteers who can spare some time to help make the day special.

How can you help?

🙌 Event volunteers – lend a hand on Christmas Day, anytime between 9am and 5pm.

🚗 Volunteer drivers – help guests get to and from the event:
Pick-up: 11.30am–12 noon
Return: 4pm–4.30pm

Every helping hand makes a difference, whether you can give a few hours or help with transport.

Interested in volunteering? We'd love to hear from you!
📅 Please register your interest by Monday 30 November.
