This annual campaign aims to spread joy and cheer among the community groups in Leicester and Leicestershire. We collaborated with business members to support events, working together to make a positive impact on people's lives.

Every year during the festive period, we join up with "Toys on the Table", a Leicester City Charity who prepare and send out toys as Christmas gifts to children from disadvantaged communities. With the support of our business members, we organise teams of volunteers who support the charity by wrapping, labelling, and sorting their gifts.
This year 32 volunteers from 7 businesses took part. With this collaboration between our corporate partners and charity sector, the Toys on the Table campaign ensures countless children who would otherwise receive nothing at Christmas don't get left behind. Our partnership delivers crucial support and a much-needed boost people in vulnerable and disadvantaged communities during the often challenging winter months.

The Festive Challenges aim to bring joy and cheer to community groups across the city and county. We collaborated with a number of our business partners to provide volunteers to make a positive difference. In the weeks running up to Christmas we delivered festive challenges to a range of community groups including a Day Hospice, Day Service for The Elderly and a Mental Health Support Group. 30 Volunteers took part in these challenges from 5 different businesses.
The team at Leicestershire cares cannot thank the businesses enough, without the continued support of our generous business partners we would not be able to make the difference.
