A heartfelt thank you to those who took part in the Reverse Advent Calendar!

10th February 2017

The East Grinstead Trussell Trust was very grateful to receive so many donations for our Christmas Bags Appeal. Many of you chose to donate through the ‘Reverse Advent Calendar Scheme’ – a food-raising idea which was suggested by many Foodbanks (including us!) to coincide with the festive period.

The premise is simple; instead of indulging in a treat each morning of Advent, place one item of food into a box, or bag, and donate the contents after Christmas Eve! This easy but effective way of donating has gone some way to stocking our shelves in time for the New Year. Just recently, we received a completed Reverse Advent Calendar from Xander, who is just 9 years old. Well done Xander for being so generous!

Looking towards Spring, we will always welcome your support. Follow these links to find out about donations.

If you are in crisis; we want to help. Find out how we can support you here.
