CRFM Christmas Kindness

This Christmas, we're spreading a little extra kindness across our local community! From Friday 13th November until Friday 11th December, CRFM is collecting gifts and festive donations to bring smiles to residential homes and older members of our community. Whether it's a small gift, some cosy winter essentials or a little festive treat, every donation can make a difference. We're also welcoming donations of wrapping paper, gift bags, tags, tape and ribbons. Together, we can make Christmas a little brighter for those who need it most. Keep an eye out for our drop-off locations, which will be announced shortly. Let's come together, spread kindness and make a little Christmas magic! Choose kindness this Christmas – with CRFM
