Christmas Kindness brings joy to 300 children in Evesham

We have donated £500 to Claus for a Cause Evesham as part of our annual Christmas Kindness campaign.  

This year, our £86,000 campaign will support more than 150 local charities and organisations across our neighbourhoods, helping to provide vital support to customers and communities during the festive season.  

The donation will help Claus for a Cause Evesham deliver Christmas presents and a Christmas lunch to around 300 local children, ensuring families who may be facing financial challenges can still enjoy a magical and memorable Christmas.  

Kelly Hotchkins, Claus for a Cause Evesham said: “We are incredibly grateful to Platform for its generous donation, Christmas can be a difficult time for many families and this support means we can continue to bring joy, warmth and a festive meal to hundreds of children in our community.  Every gift and every plate of food makes a difference and we couldn’t do what we do without the kindness of partners like Platform.  

Claus for a Cause Evesham works throughout the year to support local families, providing emergency assistance, clothing, food, household essentials and seasonal support.  

Chris Colley, our Community Engagement Officer said: “Our Christmas Kindness campaign focuses on supporting organisations that make a real impact in the communities where our customers live.  Claus for a Cause Evesham brings comfort, dignity and happiness to families who need extra support at Christmas, and we’re pleased we can help them continue this important work.”
