Christmas for most children is an exciting time of year, waking up on Christmas day to spend time with loved ones and open all those well wrapped presents. Receiving a present to unwrap seems almost like a certainty. However for some children who wake up Christmas day, to find a present to open would be a luxury we all sometimes take for granted. At Dunmow Group we believe all children should have a gift to unwrap this Christmas. So we have teamed up with our local Salvation Army to make sure every child gets a present this Christmas. Please see the [Salvation Army Christmas Present Appeal Here.](https://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/christmas-present-appeal) Our local Salvation Army, based in Chelmsford, will be providing the following this Christmas:  - Providing a ‘meals on wheels’ Christmas lunches and companionship to older people living alone. - Christmas food parcels to families to families over the festive period. - Distributing toys to children whose parents are unable to afford presents this Christmas There are loads of ways you can get involved if you'd like to:  1.

Their work included setting up shelters for the homeless, a family tracing service, running soup kitchen, helping people living in the slums and setting up rescue homes for women fleeing domestic abuse. The couple also campaigned to improve working conditions.
