"The Lord Mayor of Canterbury's Christmas Gift Fund was established 72 years ago in 1952 - It is a charity run by local people to benefit residents in Canterbury District. Once again this year at Christmas, the charity will assist isolated, vulnerable or needy individuals and families within the District administered by Canterbury City Council, by providing gift vouchers. These will be gifted in the name of the Lord Mayor of Canterbury."

“May I encourage you to support this very worth-while local charity"
Councillor Jean Butcher : Lord Mayor of Canterbury

ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS GIFT FUND

The Lord Mayor of Canterbury's Christmas Gift Fund has given grocery parcels to the elderly and those in need at Christmas time since 1952. Everyone who receives a parcel lives either in Canterbury itself or in its surrounding villages. The names of suitable recipients are collated thanks to outside agencies, such as community workers, medical practitioners and local churches, so that all those who receive a parcel from us have been recommended.
