As the festive season approaches, Under The Tree is back for its second year, bringing together local businesses and residents to share the magic of Christmas with those who need it most.

Last year, the Worcester community came together in a wonderful display of kindness, donating hundreds of gifts and essential items to help local children and vulnerable people enjoy a brighter Christmas.

From Monday 1 to Monday 15 December 2025, Under The Tree will be collecting donations for both local children and rough sleepers.

People can donate unwrapped, new toys to Barclays Bank, Worcester Cathedral, Tesco St Peter’s and the Worcester BID office (please pre-arrange a time with the team).

These toys will be given to children spending Christmas at the Children’s Ward at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, as well as for Kinship Carers who provide loving homes for children across the county.

Whilst donations for local rough sleepers of warm clothing, toiletries, and other essentials are welcomed (click here to view the full wishlist), and are to be dropped off at Maggs, a local charity working tirelessly to help rough sleepers in Worcester.
