Winter Appeal
Take part in our Winter Appeal!
A season of kindness
This winter, The Nelson Trust is inviting our community to spread kindness to those who are facing challenging times. Every act of generosity can make a meaningful difference in the lives of the women, men, and families we work with.
There are many ways to share kindness this season, each one helping to bring support where it’s needed most:
Donate online
Your gift will help us provide vital services and resources to individuals and families facing hardship during the winter months.
Amazon wishlist
Want to give something that goes directly to our clients? Our Amazon Wishlist includes comforting essentials like fluffy socks, cosy pyjamas, and other items that bring warmth and care to those we serve.
Each purchase is sent directly to our head office, please ensure you select ‘Gift List Registry Address: Nelson Trust Stroud’ at checkout when selecting delivery address.
Nominate us
Help us secure an additional £1,000 by nominating The Nelson Trust through the Benefact Group’s “Movement for Good” initiative.
Every nomination increases our chances of winning.
It only takes a minute and can make a huge difference!
The campaign runs until 19th December 2024
