Last Christmas, thanks to the generosity of local supporters, the foundation was able to donate over 80 kilograms of food to each participating food bank, including gammon joints from a local butcher, selection boxes, tinned goods, and a variety of festive treats. These contributions helped ensure that hundreds of individuals and families across the community could enjoy a warm and nourishing Christmas meal.
“The response last year was truly heart-warming,” said a spokesperson for the Yasmine McClory Foundation. “Seeing the smiles when we delivered the food was incredible — it showed how much a little kindness can mean at Christmas. This year, we want to go even further.”
About the 2025 Campaign
The foundation aims to raise £300 to purchase festive treats such as biscuit tins, chocolates, selection boxes, and other festive favourites for local food banks and homeless shelters. Every pound donated helps create a moment of joy for someone who might otherwise go without.
This campaign not only supports basic needs but also honours Yasmine McClory’s legacy — her belief that compassion, community, and shared celebration can make a lasting difference.
“No one should feel forgotten at Christmas,” the team says. “Even the smallest act of generosity can help restore hope and dignity.”
