Christmas Hampers 2024
Christmas Hampers for our CAP clients
Besom have now received sufficient offers of hampers for this year. But please don’t worry if you haven’t had chance to sign up and would still like to gift a hamper! You can now offer to do this for one of our CAP clients, who receive debt help through our CAP Debt Centre. Sign up here and we will be in touch to match you with a family or individual. Here’s some things to know:
Deadline for signing up is 30th November
We will give you some basic information about your CAP individual or family so you can make your hamper with this criteria in mind
Christmas Hamper Deliveries can be made to CAP clients any time before Christmas. Delivery will include a Belfrey Group leader/CAP representative. If you make a hamper as an individual, or if you’re not able to deliver for any reason, we can help navigate a delivery option.
If you’re doing this as a Belfrey Group, match-funding from the Belfrey Social Transformation fund up to a maximum of £100 is available for making hampers. Your Belfrey Group leader has been sent a link for the ChurchSuite form which they can use to apply for the funding.
Besom Hampers
Every year, the Besom charity organise over 200 hundred hampers given to families and single people in York who would otherwise struggle over the Christmas period. Lots of churches and other organisations get involved with this.
PRAY – Please pray for the Besom team. Giving hampers involves a lot of coordination, time and effort. All those involved absolutely love it, but please pray for strength and energy for the team. Pray for those making up hampers, that God will prompt them to put things in that are just right for the families they are going to, despite them having not met before. Pray also that those who receive hampers will know the unending love of God and the true meaning of Christmas.
MAKE A HAMPER - Besom have now closed their signup form for offers of hampers.
If you’ve already applied to make a hamper, Besom will be in touch with you shortly with more information. Due to circumstances beyond their control, Besom are not able to wrap or deliver hampers this year, so they will ask you to deliver the hamper directly to your recipient(s). If you cannot deliver (and they appreciate some people may not be able to do this for various reasons) then unfortunately you won’t be able to take part in the scheme this time around.
If this is the case for you, then please consider offering to make a hamper for a Belfrey CAP client, as we can organise delivery with you for these. See the top of this page for more information on how to sign up.
Match-funding from the Belfrey Social Transformation fund up to a maximum of £100 is available for making hampers. Your Belfrey Group leader has been sent a link for the ChurchSuite form which they can use to apply for the funding.
