Paganhill Xmas hamper Fund
Donation protected
We're asking local people to nominate neighbours to receive small Christmas hampers, bringing a little festive cheer.
While Paganhill Community Group members are busy making things to put in the hampers, we also need donations to buy a few little extra treats.
Please help! Covid-19 has put huge pressure on people with the least resilience. Food and fuel poverty is growing in our community. We are at the coal face and can help – with your support!
Help us to help our neighbours in Farmhill and Paganhill who may be struggling to put good food on the table, or facing mental health challenges, or may have to choose between heating and eating this winter.
Paganhill Community Group brings together local people who want to help each other, offering their time and skills as volunteers. But as well as people’s time, we do need money. We have a small emergency fund for people facing dire straits who may have fallen through the system, and we like to be able to reimburse our helpers for things like printing posters and petrol money for collecting prescriptions and shopping for people isolating at home.
We started a successful free Bus Stop shop opposite the Arch in Farmhill Lane where food was donated and shared freely. Books, children’s puzzles and toiletries were also available.
We have started our own community food hub, with a ‘Freezer of Love’ filled with frozen ready-meals supplied by The Long Table and distributed on a ‘pay as you feel’ basis and we’re creating a community fridge and larder for essentials heading into winter.
We are recognised as an effective community group by Stroud District Council, Stroud Town Council, Stroud Foodbank, The Long Table food initiative, Barnwood Trust and support agencies.

Thankyou to all those who contributed to our Covid Fund
We have also received small grants and donations from our local community, for which we are grateful, but we need your help to make this Christmas special to those who need it and continue supporting our volunteers and those doing this vital work. Please help us to continue to help our community.
