Cheque this out!
Theatre boosts our hamper appeal
JUST look at the size of that!
Nic Careem and George Lee show off the big cheque that has helped kick off our annual Christmas hamper appeal.
Mr Lee, the Conservative candidate for Holborn and St Pancras, personally covered the expenses of putting on a fundraising performance of And Then They Came For Me, an anti-hate play about the Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss, at Theatro Technis in Somers Town last week.
He was at the New Journal’s offices on Monday afternoon with Mr Careem, the show’s producer, to hand over the £700 that was raised from the event.
Christmas hamper appeal - Your generosity makes it a festive season to remember
THE Christmas lights are on – actor Colin Firth did the honours in Regent Street on Monday – and shops are starting to play carols. The long, slow build-up to Christmas has begun.
Whether you are a leave-it-till-Christmas-Eve bargain-hunter or a bought-them-all-by-autumn hoarder, now is the perfect time to give a thought to neighbours who need some extra festive cheer.
Every year, the New Journal’s readers give generously so that at Christmas we can deliver hampers to those who could most do with a festive fillip.
For elderly neighbours, often facing Christmas alone or single parents struggling to make ends meet, a hamper from Santa means a few extra goodies and, even more so, the knowledge that someone out there is thinking of them.
In the past, Camden readers have shown they have a real sense of community and allowed us to deliver hundreds of hampers.
This year, most people are facing harder times. It means that sparing money for a donation is especially generous – and, of course, that your gift will be appreciated even more.
