​​​​

​​Christmas Care has now closed for this year - a huge thank you to ALL our volunteers and donors!  We have been able to welcome a full house of guests, feed them well, provide warmth and Christmas cheer.  When we closed, we were able to bid them farewell with goodie bags of food and other essentials. 

​

​​Thank you to everybody involved - we wish you all a very Happy New Year.

​

​We will be starting the work to organise Christmas Care 2025 in the early autumn.  Keep an eye on this page or follow us on Facebook for the latest updates.​​​​

​

Christmas Care is a Swindon charity that has provided hospitality for homeless and vulnerable local people every Christmas since 1988. We are based in The Haven Day Centre, Queen's Drive, Swindon SN3 1AR.

​

We provide a drop-in day centre for homeless and isolated people in the Swindon area over the Christmas period.  It is run entirely by volunteers and a small committee, and is funded purely from donations, both cash and donations in kind.

​

  • We offer a full English breakfast, a hot home-cooked lunch and an early evening snack.  In between, there are hot drinks, chats, companionship and festive cheer. 

  • Guests do not need to book in advance. 

  • For insurance reasons, we are unable to accommodate anyone under 18 years old, guest or volunteer. 

  • The dates we open are from Christmas Eve for a week (exact dates are determined each year).  

  • Our opening times for guests were 9:00am - 5:30pm each day, other than Sunday when we closed at 4:00pm.​​
