What’s inside

  • What use are chocolate coins these days? You’ll need every penny you can get this Christmas.

  • Cut energy costs by not turning on the lights.

  • Why pay for Netflix when you can use your imagination instead?

  • 70% of body heat escapes through your head. Pop this on, it’s much more cost effective than heating.

  • Save yourself from buying loads of these and just reuse this one again and again.

  • The cost of food has gone up 14.6% this year. So don’t leave this out for Rudolph, save it for yourself.

  • An average Christmas tree will set you back around £40. Here’s a seed so you can grow your own for next year.

  • Because everyone deserves a new pair of socks for Christmas, at the very least.

  • The cost of nappies has soared by 60% this year. Here’s a day’s worth to get you by.

  • A little something to save the day when you can’t afford to be off sick.

  • Serves two.

  • This is not a joke.

Everyday essentials should not be a luxury

The average low income family is set to be £1,683 worse off this winter.

This calendar might not be real, but the need for the items inside is. We need your help to make sure those hit hardest by the cost of living crisis have all the essentials they need to make it through the winter.

How your donations help.

Your donation will help us at the Hackney Children & Baby Bank. We give families in need essential items such as clothes, shoes, toys, books, food and baby equipment.

We've helped over 1000 families dealing with the cost of living crisis, domestic violence, migrant families, homeless women and children, families on debt management, unemployed families, women from prisons, and people with alcohol and other substances abuse issues.
