Community support at Christmas – online directory

ByRachel Audsley

As we approach an unusual Christmas that may prove difficult for many members of our communities, I am pleased to be able to share with you a link to the EHDC website where we have listed all known additional support available in your area that is ‘open to all’ this year, which you are free to share with your contacts, and friends/family within East Hampshire:

The Hampshire Coronavirus Support Helpline (0333 307 4000) remains operational and details can be found at the top of the webpage. 

All Foodbank information, including Christmas opening hours can also be found at:

This webpage will be continuously updated so if there is specific support being offered over the Christmas period please let me know and I can arrange for it to be included on the webpage. We specifically request information that is ‘open to all’ and not limited to members only of local groups.  

In addition, regular updates on support and food donations, Things To Do and Toy Appeals will be posted on our Facebook Page:
