This holiday season, Gelder Group is proud to have collaborated with Lincolnshire Housing Partnership (LHP) in a meaningful initiative to support families in need. Thanks to the generosity of Gelder Group staff, hundreds of essential toiletry items have been collected and donated to LHP, addressing a critical gap in support for personal hygiene products within the community.
The collection drive was launched in response to feedback from LHP, which identified that, although food banks provide vital assistance, they often lack personal care items that families need for everyday wellbeing. Through contributions from Gelder Group team members, items including toilet rolls, deodorants, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap have now been delivered to local support centres, offering some relief to families during this challenging time of year.
Rob Sanderson, Contracts Manager at Gelder Group commented:
We are deeply thankful for the generosity shown by our team. This initiative is about more than just donations; it’s about community and compassion. We’re glad to help ensure that individuals and families can access essential hygiene products this holiday season.
LHP’s appeal is part of its commitment to “Listen, Act, and Learn,” with an emphasis on addressing needs highlighted by community conversations. Following the success of previous initiatives—such as providing pyjamas for children last year—this year’s drive focuses on supplying hygiene products, a simple yet impactful way to support families who might otherwise go without.
Both Gelder Group and LHP extend a heartfelt thank you to all those who contributed, either through monetary donations or by purchasing items directly. This initiative is a testament to the power of community spirit and a reminder that small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact.
