The Christmas Hamper Project is returning for another year, bringing together organisations and supporters across Devon and Torbay to provide Christmas hampers, gifts and essential items for young people and care leavers.

Led by Children and Family Health Devon, in partnership with Devon County Council and Torbay Council, and supported by Devon Partnership NHS Trust and Open Up, the project aims to ensure young people receive additional support during the festive season.

Working together

The success of the Christmas Hamper Project relies on the generosity of supporters, staff and local communities. Every year, donations help provide a range of items that can be tailored to individual needs and circumstances.

From toiletries and household essentials to gifts and festive treats, every contribution helps make a difference.

How you can help

There are several ways to support the project.

You can purchase items through the Amazon Wish List, make a donation, or find out about other ways to contribute through the campaign page. Every gift and donation helps support young people and care leavers across Devon and Torbay during the festive period.

Our aim for 2026 is to reach even more young people and care leavers across Devon and Torbay, providing support at Christmas when it is needed most.
