The Giving Tree
Dates: Wednesday, 13th November to Sunday, 8th December
For the fourth year in a row, Culver Square is honoured to host The Giving Tree, and this year, we’re calling on our community to make it more impactful than ever!
With food bank usage continuing to rise, many families in Colchester are facing unprecedented challenges. That’s why we’re once again partnering with Colchester Food Bank and Colchester BID, working together to ensure that as many children as possible experience the joy of receiving a special gift this Christmas.
Last year, thanks to your incredible generosity, over £14,000 worth of gifts were donated – let’s see if we can spread even more love this year!
