The Teesside Charity Christmas Giving Fund 2026

The Teesside Charity

The Teesside Charity's Christmas Giving Fund helps local charities, community groups and schools run Christmas campaigns for people across the Tees Valley. It is for organisations supporting individuals and families who might otherwise struggle to enjoy Christmas. You can apply for up to £500. Support may come as vouchers or as financial help, depending on your request and what suits it best. The money could pay for Christmas gifts for children and families, food and hampers, supermarket or other essential vouchers, and Christmas activities or experiences. It could also help people facing financial hardship. Other Christmas projects that directly benefit people in your local community may be considered too. The fund suits you if you can show a clear, meaningful benefit for people who find Christmas a difficult time. The charity will look at how many people will benefit, the level of need and how the support will make a difference. Applications opened on 16 October 2026 and close on 20 November 2026. The pot is limited, so the fund may close earlier if it receives a high volume of applications. Apply as early as you can. The charity may not be able to support every application it receives. You do not need to have had support from The Teesside Charity before. If this is your first request, you will need to provide references. The form is short and simple. The charity wants to understand who you support, what you are planning and why the help is needed. Official source: https://www.teessidecharity.org.uk/funds/the-christmas-2026-giving-fund/.
