Our Harvest Festival campaign is primarily supported by schools and churches who collect ingredients to donate to The Wellspring.This is especially important as we see more people through our doors than ever before, and as we serve two meals a day and a takeaway snack pack, we need many ingredients to sustain this.If you’re part of a school, church or even an office and you want to get involved in our Harvest Festival collections, you can fill in our Harvest pick up form here and if you have any questions please contact janet@thewellspring.co.uk or call us on 0161 477 6344.It makes us so happy to share the details of how our supporters do the incredible things they do. So, feel free to connect with our social media accounts so we can tell your story to our community!

You can also support our Harvest Festival campaign by making a financial contribution here.

Christmas Dinner Appeal
2026-11-01 08:00 - 2027-01-04 17:00
Our Christmas Dinner Appeal campaign is where we ask our incredible supporters to do something amazing and donate to help us provide dinner and a gift on Christmas Day to someone that simply wouldn’t have it otherwise.

Anything you can afford to give now will carry a legacy beyond Christmas Day and well into the following year. It provides us with the foundation to keep going, to keep helping, to build more futures beyond homelessness than ever.

Will you sponsor a Christmas Dinner and gift for just £5?
