All Saints Family Café are a bunch of volunteers providing food and activities to fill a hunger gap, increase social connections and provide a space for children to be explore, create and have fun!

We are looking to make things better for families living in poverty. In Eastville 1 in 4 children are experiencing child poverty and 40% of 10/11 year olds have excess weight (Eastville Statistical Ward Information 2021).

Parents that we support have asked for a small treat for each child and a food shopping voucher for the family so they can afford to eat well over the 2 week holiday.

 

£5 will enable us to buy children's treats.

£15 will help buy a pamper pack for a parent.

£30 will help buy a food voucher for a family of four.

 

The more money that is raised, the more we can share with low income families to really make a difference this Christmas.

 

Quotes after last year's event:

"I would like to say thank you sooo much for yesterday, myself and the kids had a lovely time, the games and Christmas activities were lovely, we are also very greatful for the presents and gifts given and also the voucher for shopping which would help me to buy Christmas food shop. The past 2 years I've not been able to buy my kids Christmas presents due to the financial crisis happening around the world and bills rocketing high.  I wasn’t expecting half of the things I received yesterday, so would like to say thanks you, and all the volunteers for giving me and my family a lovely party and all the goodies".

"Due to cost of living the food voucher very helpful feeding a family of 7, the pamper pack made me feel extremely happy because I can’t afford products to spend on myself, children throughly enjoyed the creative activities, they are not able to afford to do at home."

"Thankyou so much to all the staff who made today possible. The food package & voucher was so unexpected but will make a huge difference to our family. The pamper kit is a real treat & I was shocked that I got my own present.  I’m so looking forward to opening it up and having a lovely Christmas pamper. Many thanks"

"Everything was so good the variety of crafts were so enjoyable. The food was really nice with a good selection. I'm still shocked at the very generous gift voucher and pamper pack was both expecting that at all and im feeling really chuffed".

"It's very kind of the funders to do give to us families especially at this time of year. My kids had a lovely time at the Christmas party."

"All of the gifts for my family are very well received they are not taken for granted as it all wasn't expected and will be used for what it's given for. I will enjoy my pamper pack as a parent you're all for giving to others and leaving yourself out. Thank you all."
