Some elderly care home residents do not have family or friends. 
We want to give them a Christmas Gift Box so that they
​feel valued and loved by their community.
If you would like to make a difference to someone with no family or friends this Christmas, please consider donating the items listed below:
  • Toiletries, especially shower gel and fragrant talcs
  • Toiletry bags
  • Socks, either bed socks or other socks
  • Small packets of tissues
  • Small puzzle books
  • Colouring books and pencils, pens or crayons
  • Little games (e.g. dominoes, cards, etc)
  • Small teddy bears
  • Soft hair brushes
  • Arts and crafts
Alternatively you can make a donation to our appeal by clicking on the link below and we will buy gifts on your behalf.
Gifts can be left in the marked crate outside the ETNA Community Centre (13 Rosslyn Rd, Twickenham TW1 2AR): 
  • Every Tuesday and Thursday from 24 November - 17 December, between 9.30 - 12.30.
  • Please leave your gifts unwrapped - our magic team of elves will assemble the gift boxes for the residents.
  • If you would like to leave a card with your season's greetings, we will also include these in the gift boxes.

We will distribute the gift boxes to care home residents in the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames. Your donations will make a real difference to brightening a care home resident's Christmas at this difficult time. Thank you.
