Preparations are underway for the 2026 Christmas Hamper Project, and they need help from local businesses and schools to support this great community initiative, and to make it successful! The project brings together volunteers, local businesses, and organisations to support vulnerable individuals and families in the Burgess Hill area. In 2025 the project supported an incredible 748 people, with 246 hampers created. Led by Burgess Hill Town Council, the project’s success is the result of a collaboration between the Town Council, Kings Church, Burgess Hill Youth, Burgess Hill & District Rotary, Burgess Hill Foodbank, and the Burgess Hill District Lions.
