One Off Opportunity - Christmas Care Home Gifts 2026

Bring a Little Christmas Magic to Portsmouth Care Home Residents

This Christmas, we’re asking our amazing community to help make the season brighter for care home residents who may not have family or friends to celebrate with. We’ve been given details of care home residents —both men and women—who are unlikely to receive any gifts this year.

If you’re able to donate a gift, we’ll make sure it reaches one of these residents and brings a smile to their face. Your kindness will mean the world to them.

To take part, simply register your interest and drop off your gift(s) at Portsmouth Central Library. Please note, we’re unable to collect any monetary donations.

The deadline for donations is Wednesday 9th December.

Let’s come together to show that no one in our city is forgotten this Christmas.

You can either pick to donate generic gifts from our example list, or choose from a specific person and their wish list.
