Thank you so much for joining us in our mission to end loneliness in Islington this winter.
Loneliness is a growing crisis in Islington, one of the most unequal boroughs in the UK, with some of the highest levels of poverty and mental ill health in the country. With rising costs, grassroots organisations supporting our most vulnerable neighbours are also under unprecedented strain.
All proceeds from these crackers are funding incredible local organisations offering points of connection, support, and joy for vulnerable local residents.
Thanks to your donation, more people in Islington will be able access the support and opportunities they need to live a good life.
Here are examples of the type of projects supported by Islington Giving:
These projects need ongoing support to be there for the people that need them most.
Can you give a monthly gift to ensure that they can keep the lights on?
About Angel Crackers
Angel Crackers will raise vital funds for grassroots community organisations offering connection, joy and practical support to vulnerable Islington residents.
For a suggested donation of £5, each cracker, will support these organisations to run activities like art workshops to boost mental health, cooking clubs bringing men together over food, and safe spaces for mothers and carers.
Developed in collaboration with Islington Giving, Angel Islington BID and the Business Design Centre, and put together by a team of volunteers from local businesses, Angel Crackers are a fun and meaningful way to give back and help ensure that nobody feels alone this winter. There is even the chance to win prizes, with a number of Golden Tickets hidden amongst the crackers.
This year we’re pleased to announce that our official sponsor is Bolt Burdon Solicitors – thank you for your support!
