Give back this Christmas - support your local community

This year, several of our centres are spreading a little extra festive cheer by collecting donations from 1–15 December to support local charities and community groups. Together with our communities, we hope to bring comfort, joy and practical support to families and individuals who may need it most this Christmas.

Here’s where your donations will be going:

Bay Sports Arena and Herons Leisure Centre will be supporting SNAAP, a local charity providing food, advice and support to vulnerable people.

Kingsmead Pools & Fitness will be supporting the Lord Mayor of Canterbury Christmas Fund, helping families and individuals in need across the Canterbury area.

Whitstable Pools & Fitness and Whitstable Sports Centre will be supporting Riverside Church, which provides practical support and assistance to those in need within the local community.

We welcome donations of:

• Unwanted toys and games
• Warm clothing and winter accessories
• Blankets
• Consumables and essential items
• Other thoughtful, practical gifts

All donations will be passed directly to the local organisations, who work tirelessly to support vulnerable groups throughout the year.

Your generosity can help brighten someone’s Christmas and bring a little warmth where it’s needed most. Thank you for giving back and supporting your community this festive season. 🎄✨
