Help Santa bring Christmas to local families with Carbrain Community Hub and Cumbernauld Kilsyth Care.
This Christmas, Lanternhouse is filled with the festive magic of Pinocchio and Special Delivery . With your help, we’re also supporting local families through Carbrain Community Hub and Cumbernauld Kilsyth Care.
By the Christmas tree at the Lanternhouse Foyer, you’ll find a chimney-shaped box, just like Santa’s. If you’d like to donate, here’s what’s most needed:
Winter essentials
All sizes from babies to teenagers are welcome.
Baby essentials
Hygiene essentials
To help match your gift with the perfect family, please wrap or box it and add a small label with a description, such as ‘Teenage girl to keep warm’ or ‘Someone aged 3+ who likes sensory play,’ as shown in the image below.
Whether it’s something small or a little bundle, your kindness will be the loveliest gift of all this Christmas.
