Christmas Hampers

Christmas can be a difficult time of year for many, trying to stretch finances that are already at their limit, to buy extra food for everyone on holiday and presents to give.  This is the situation that many of the women we support through Gateway Women’s Centre face.  This year, thanks to the support of Sainsburys in New England Street, Brighton and their fabulous staff and customers, we were able to provide 12 beautiful Hampers for our clients together with 11 gift bags of toiletries for those of our clients who were alone for Christmas this year.

Sainsburys gave a day to Gateway Women’s Centre, where their customers were invited to buy one extra item of shopping and donate it to the Women’s Centre.  The response from Sainsbury’s customers and staff was overwhelming and by the end of the day we had a trolley full of Christmas treats and gifts.  We are so grateful to Sainsburys for their support and on behalf of the team here and the women we have been able to support through their kind generosity we would like to say a very BIG Thank you!
