With Christmas rapidly approaching, foodbanks are bracing themselves for a tough festive season. With rising food costs and the cold weather setting in, many people in Edinburgh will be facing the tough decision between putting dinner on the table and putting the heating on.

Our Reverse Advent Calendar is just like a normal advent calendar but with two significant differences:

• You give the gift of food, instead of getting chocolate
• You complete it before Christmas

No one should have the essentials on their list to Santa this year. At Christmas, giving is so important. It’s an amazing way to let people know that they matter and that they are cared for.
