Like many charities, we’re facing a more challenging funding climate alongside rising costs. We’re carefully considering how we use every pound, every volunteer hour and every bit of our warehouse space, so we can continue supporting families across Surrey and Croydon with the essentials they need throughout the year.
With this in mind, we’ll be using our existing stock of brand-new gifts to prioritise children experiencing significant hardship who would otherwise be unlikely to receive a present at Christmas.
This year, rather than asking you to collect gifts, we’re inviting you to spread a little kindness in a different way by collecting the essential items families need throughout the year. From toiletries and nappies to warm clothing and school essentials, your donations can make a real difference to a family facing a difficult time.
Help make winter a little easier for a family. Donate a brand new essential item today and help provide warmth, comfort and practical support to children and families across Surrey and Croydon.
Our Amazon Wish List makes it easy to donate the essential items we need most. Choose an item, add it to your basket and have it delivered directly to Stripey Stork, helping us provide practical support to families across Surrey and Croydon.
Help take the pressure off when budgets are stretched. Donate everyday toiletries and help make sure families across Surrey and Croydon have the essentials they need.
Our online shop is a simple way to support local families while choosing a meaningful gift for someone else. Browse virtual gift bundles that fund practical essentials for babies, children and families, from school and toiletries bundles to new baby and winter gifts warmers.
We love seeing schools, community groups, organisations and workplaces come together to support Stripey Stork. Organising a Christmas collection is a simple way to spread kindness, bring people together and make a practical difference to families across Surrey and Croydon.
Whether it’s colleagues filling a box in the office, pupils collecting items at school or a community group getting everyone involved, every collection helps us keep our supplies topped up with the essentials families need. This Christmas, we’re particularly looking for brand-new winter warmers and toiletries, which can make a real difference during the colder months.
If your school, organisation or workplace would like to organise a collection for Stripey Stork, please email partnerships@stripeystork.org.uk.
