The post October holiday fun at The Hub first appeared on The Hub, Letham.

Last year, the initiative supported 134 households, including 213 adults and 315 children, helping families manage some of the additional financial pressure that comes with the festive period. A further 18 young people in the community were supported with freshly cooked Christmas dinners, fruit and Christmas Treat Bags.

Now we’re asking you, our community, to help us do it again.

Giving families choice this Christmas

At the heart of this year’s Christmas Meal Gift will be supermarket food vouchers. We provide £7.50 per person, allowing families to choose culturally appropriate food for their own festive meal.

The voucher system was introduced last year and proved particularly valuable. Rather than giving every household the same food, families were able to choose what suited them, including food appropriate for allergies, dietary requirements and their own Christmas traditions.

Families also told us that being able to choose how they used their vouchers meant the support could sometimes stretch beyond Christmas Day.

One recipient told us: “The vouchers were a real bonus and helped us beyond the big day”. Another said: “The Christmas Meal Gift helped us more than you can ever begin to imagine”.

Help fill our Christmas Treat Bags

Alongside the food vouchers, we’re once again preparing Christmas Treat Bags. We’ve created an Amazon Wish List containing many of the items we need, giving supporters another simple way to get involved.

The list includes Christmas chocolates, hot chocolate, toiletries, colouring and activity books, puzzles and small festive treats. Supporters can purchase an item directly from the Wish List, helping us build the hundreds of bags needed for this year’s campaign.

VIEW THE AMAZON WISH LIST

Help us reach £8,000

Our target for the Christmas Meal Gift 2026 is £8,000. Whether you can donate towards the supermarket vouchers, purchase something from our Wish List, fundraise for us or simply share the campaign, every contribution will help.

The Christmas Meal Gift has always been a community effort. Local organisations, businesses, churches, volunteers and individuals have come together year after year to make it possible.

The feedback we received after last Christmas showed just how much that support meant. One family told us: “It eased the cost of shopping for me”. Another described the support simply as: “A lifeline”.

Christmas can be an expensive and challenging time for many households. By working together again in 2026, we can help make it a little easier.

Help us raise £8,000 and support local families this Christmas.

The event brought together golfers from across Scotland, as well as some who travelled from as far as Norwich, for a day of golf and fundraising in support of Letham4All.

The Lending Channel directors Alistair and Murray Ewing have strong local connections, and we’re incredibly grateful that they chose to support our work here in the community.

The money raised will help us continue delivering activities, services, and opportunities through Letham4All and The Hub, supporting people across Letham and the surrounding area.

This year’s winning team came from Glasgow-based McKee Campbell Morrison Solicitors, who took the overall team victory on the day.

A huge thank you goes to The Lending Channel for organising the event, Auchterarder Golf Club for hosting, and everyone who played, donated, or helped make the day such a success.

Support like this makes a real difference to what we’re able to do locally, and we’re very grateful to everyone involved.

The Community Fridge provides a place where surplus food can be shared rather than thrown away, helping local people while preventing perfectly good food from going to waste.

Volunteers play an important role in keeping the project running smoothly. There are a variety of ways to get involved, whether you enjoy meeting people, staying organised, or getting out and about.

Volunteer roles include:

• Welcoming visitors to the Community Fridge.
• Restocking, cleaning, and helping keep the fridge organised.
• Collecting food donations from local supermarkets and businesses.
• Delivering donations to The Hub.
• Flexible volunteering to fit around your availability.

Letham4All is particularly keen to hear from drivers with access to a car or van, although anyone who is friendly, reliable, and wants to help their community is encouraged to get involved.

By volunteering, you’ll be helping to reduce food waste, support local people, and contribute to building a stronger, more connected Letham community.

Anyone interested in becoming a Community Fridge volunteer can contact The Hub by emailing reception@letham4all.org.uk or calling 01738 444061.

Running throughout July and August, the programme includes sports sessions, STEM activities, creative workshops, family events, social gatherings, and opportunities for people of all ages to meet new friends and stay active over the summer.

Families can enjoy a range of activities including Soft Play Fun sessions for younger children, Family Sports and Games evenings, Games in the Park, creative craft workshops, STEM science activities delivered by STEM Squad Scotland, and the popular Imagination Hub sessions.

A number of special events are also planned throughout the summer, including movie nights, quiz nights, bingo, Lego-themed social evenings, community gardening activities, and Schools Out Summer Fun days.

One of the newest additions to the programme is Connect Club, a monthly social group for adults aged 25 and over. The free group aims to bring people together in a relaxed environment, whether attending with friends or looking to meet new people. The first session in July will be a movie night, followed by a games night in August.

Letham4All is also continuing its support for local families through its summer café offer. During the school holidays, children can enjoy a free cereal breakfast each morning and a free lunch box meal when accompanied by an adult purchasing a full-price meal, with adult meals starting from just £1.

Many activities are free to attend, although some sessions require advance booking. Events marked with a red dot on the summer programme must be booked in advance.

Anyone wishing to reserve a place or find out more can contact The Hub on 01738 444061, email reception@letham4all.org.uk, or speak to a member of staff at The Hub on Amulree Road.

With activities running throughout the summer holidays, organisers hope the programme will provide opportunities for families, children, and adults to stay connected, learn new skills, and have fun close to home.
