Bring a better Christmas to Bankside

Better Bankside has once again teamed up with Broadway, Lucy Brown House, Hopton's Charity, Age Concern Southwark and the Manna Centre to pass on gifts from local workers and residents to more vulnerable members of the community.

You can donate any of the following items at a designated collection point before Tuesday 11 December. Better Bankside's volunteers will sort, wrap and distribute the gifts.

• Food – non-perishable, luxury treats (boxes of biscuits, small Christmas puddings, chocolates, preserves, tins of luxury food, boxes of tea)

• Toiletries – attractive packaging in a range of sizes (boxed soap, hand and body cream, shaving foam, shampoo, toothbrushes, combs)

• Clothes – new, not worn (socks, scarves, gloves, t-shirts, thermal vests, warm jumpers)
