Making Christmas Magical with Spotlight UK

This Christmas, we’re partnering again with Spotlight UK, a local charity that has been making a difference in Basingstoke since 2009. Our office will serve as a gift drop-off point, and once all gifts have been dropped off, we will wrap them up!

Spotlight UK provides affordable activities and support to vulnerable families, boosting confidence, self-esteem, and social interaction.

Our team will wrap the donated Christmas presents for families—a small gesture that will bring smiles to children, young people, and parents during the festive season.

Last year, on “packing day,” we sorted, wrapped, and prepared over 1,000 gifts to be dropped back off at Spotlight HQ. This year, we aim for an even bigger impact, with more donated gifts and more hands on deck for wrapping!
