Christmas in Marble Arch is undoubtedly going to look very different this year, but the amazing work of our local community partners will be continuing throughout the busy festive period. After a very challenging eight months, the following organisations will be seeking both financial and physical donations to best support their service users over the coming months.

West London Mission

West London Mission is a charity that operates several centres across London (including WLM Seymour Place) which are designed to support and empower individuals affected by homelessness. WLM would be hugely grateful for your support. Requested items include preloaded oyster cards, mobile phone credit, clothing, bedding, towel sets and toiletries.

The Marylebone Project

The Marylebone Project is a registered social landlord providing 112 beds to homeless women and offering essential facilities and support via their drop-in centre. The Marylebone Centre also delivers education, employment and training opportunities to support service users into independent living.

The Marylebone Project is currently collecting donations of Christmas presents for their residents. The charity particularly welcomes donations of cutlery, kettles, toasters, microwaves, pots and pans.

The Westminster Society

The Westminster Society (soon to be the Learning Disability Network) works with children and adults with learning disabilities. The charity supports their service users to stay healthy, be safe and live well in a society. This year, the Westminster Society will be holding The Great Christmas Hamper Raffle, with three festive hampers to be won.

The charity is seeking products and gift vouchers to fill each hamper with a target to raise £5,000 for the Rainbows Family Centre. The Westminster Society needs funds for specialist equipment, sensory toys and vital therapy sessions,

The Team are currently seeking donations of good quality men’s clothing, shoes, toiletries and books. These items will support local Westminster rough sleepers over the coming months.
