Appeal for donations for local families in need this Christmas
Every year volunteers from Ilkley Great Get Together [IGGT] team pack food parcels for families who are eligible for free school meals in Ilkley.
This year the team are providing over 150 Christmas food parcels for families and have appealed for donations of Christmas cakes, crackers, mince pies and festive treats.
In Ilkley we have 342 children who access Free School Meals because they have low income, and organisers say the Christmas food parcels are a real boost for these families.
Along with donations of crackers, mince pies and festive treats, IGGT are particularly appealing for Christmas cakes, as offers are a little short this year.
"Thank you so very much it’s greatly appreciated & we truly are very grateful" one of our local families.
Anyone with donations is ask to please leave in the boxes outside 30 Nelson Rd in Ilkley [LS29 8HN] by Monday 14th December 2026.
