Part of our social action work is an outreach to underprivileged families in Derby with the Christmas message and presents for the children.
Many are referred, not only by Basics Bank, but also by Oasis, Homestart, organisations which work with young families and women's refuges. We give out gifts to an average of 750 children a year.
In this work we are partnered by a number of churches who hold toy services to collect gifts for specific age groups for us. We are also partnered by Westfield and Derby City Council Markets.
