✨ Thank You from the Bottom of Our Hearts ✨

As our Christmas Shoe Box Appeal comes to a close, we want to say the biggest thank you to every single person who made it possible.

To our donators, your generosity filled each shoebox with care, dignity and kindness.
To our local businesses, thank you for supporting, promoting and collecting alongside us.
To our volunteers, your time, energy and compassion are what truly brought this appeal together.

All shoeboxes were donated to The Salvation Army (Bramwell House), who provide accommodation and support for males and females aged 18 to 65 who are experiencing homelessness. It is a truly fantastic cause and one we are proud to support. We look forward to supporting them further in the new year.

We start collecting again from January and the items we will be needing include

Toothpaste
Toothbrushes
Hats, scarves and gloves
Travel size shampoos, conditioners and body lotion
Wrapping paper
Shoe boxes
Sanitary products

Thank you for reminding us what community really looks like. Together, we are making a difference one shoebox at a time.

Good morning everyone 🌅

Job well done 👏
Video coming soon!

Today, we delivered over 70 Christmas shoeboxes to Bramwell House, along with additional donations of clothing, toiletries, hats, scarves, gloves, and selection boxes.

A truly wonderful way to begin Christmas Eve 🎄

We’ll be heading back out in Blackburn this evening, distributing more essential items and donating a larger wheelchair to support someone experiencing homelessness.

Huge thanks to my incredible team, Celia, Stuart, Margaret, and Leo.

A special welcome to Leo, our newest team member, who is completing his Duke of Edinburgh Award with us. He’ll be joining us for the next three months, and we’re so pleased to have him on board.

Thank you to everyone who has helped us collect all year round ❤️

Lots of love,
Sammy xx 💖

A huge thank you to everyone coming out this morning to help distribute the Christmas Shoeboxes. Your time, kindness, and care are helping bring warmth, dignity, and reassurance to adults in our community this Christmas.

Because of you, people will feel remembered, valued, and supported today. We truly couldn’t do this without our amazing volunteers and supporters at Darwen Community Helpers.

Wishing you a safe and meaningful morning.

Thank you for being the heart of our community 🎄✨

Hi everyone,
I’m sorry I haven’t replied to messages today. I’m out spending the day with my children.

I’ll be at the community hub (10 Bridge Street) from 10am tomorrow to load the cars with the Christmas shoeboxes ready for delivery to the Salvation Army (Bramwell House).

If anyone has any waterproofs, men’s jackets or trousers in medium or large, we would be incredibly grateful for them so we can continue supporting people experiencing homelessness tomorrow evening.

If you do come to the hub, the shutters will be down. Please come round the back and press the doorbell.

Thank you so much,
Sammy xx

Good morning from Darwen Community Helpers.

We want to begin today with heartfelt thanks to our community. Your ongoing support means more than words can express. Whether it is through donations, sharing our work, volunteering, or simply believing in what we do, every act of support matters.

So much of the impact you create happens quietly. It reaches people in moments of worry, loneliness, and uncertainty. It helps someone feel seen, supported, and less alone, even when you never hear the outcome.

Because of you, help continues to reach those who need it most. Because of you, kindness keeps moving through our town in ways that are often unseen but deeply felt.

We are truly grateful for this community. Thank you for standing with us and for making a difference every single day. ❤️ xx
