Yesterday was a GOOD day! Enough volunteers for Christmas Day, hit our BigGive target & a lovely (chilly) evening at Kew Sparkle. Thanks to everyone who came to see us & bought raffle tickets. We now need help with our Just Giving appeal & Amazon wishlist. justgiving.com/campaign/cocoo…

Who remembers reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar when they were young? Would you like to buy a copy for £4 for the child of one of our Christmas Day guests? Purchases from our wishlist go straight to our post room. amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls…

Can you help us reach our £15k target to fund a Christmas Day event for our local care leavers who'd otherwise spend the day alone? or perhaps you'd prefer to buy a gift from our wishlist? justgiving.com/campaign/cocoo… amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls…

Thanks Heavenly Dish 😀 There are lots of ways to help inc buying a gift from our Amazon wishlist (from £7 & delivered direct to our post room) amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls… or via Just Giving justgiving.com/campaign/cocoo… We need to raise £15k to fund our Xmas Day event for care leavers.

Can any of you lovely tweeps help us out by donating 60 x milk Chocolate Oranges (@ approx £1.50 each) so we can make up tabletop goody bags for our Christmas Day care leaver guests? We can collect locally ( Richmond, Kingston & Hounslow Boroughs ) or DM us for delivery details.

Wow! That was quick. After Wednesday's appeal on multiple SM platforms, we've now got enough Chocolate Oranges for a goody bag for every one of our local Christmas Day care leaver guests. Thanks to everyone who shared our appeal, made promises, or has already given some to us!

Our Wrapathon is Sunday 17th Dec (Some pm spots left. Ticket link below). To buy a gift for a local care leaver guest (a few have young children) pls see our Amazon wish list - prices from £9 & deliveries go direct to our postroom. amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls… eventbrite.co.uk/o/cocoon-care-…

Our Wrapathon is next Sunday, 17th & we need strong Christmas wrapping paper. If you can help us out with a donation of any (full or part rolls great), it can be dropped off at the Prince Of Wales pub - 136 Hampton Road, Twickenham, TW2 5QR during opening hours. Retweets welcome

We're still looking for donations of strong Christmas wrapping paper for Sunday's gift Wrapathon. Any donations can be dropped off at the Prince Of Wales pub in Twickenham. Opening times in original post. Thanks all! 🎄🎁

Hey wrap fans! There are a few places left from 2.30pm at our Wrapathon next Sunday, 17th Dec. Get into the real Christmas spirit & come & wrap some gifts for local care leavers. We offer TEA! COFFEE! MINCE PIES (hopefully). Book your (free) slot here. eventbrite.co.uk/o/cocoon-care-…

For many in the care system, Christmas is a lonely time. Decorations can come to take on a symbolic meaning, not least the Christmas tree. bigissue.com/opinion/christ…

Laptop cases, Monopoly, hats & gloves. Just some of the gifts we're still hoping you'll buy for the lovely care leaver guests attending our Christmas Day event. We need them for our Wrapathon on Sunday. Deliveries go direct to our postroom. Thanks Tweeps amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls…

Come & join us wrapping gifts for the care experienced young adults coming to our Christmas Day event (and a few of their kids) - There are still a few Wrapathon spaces left for Sunday afternoon in Twickenham. Booking link in original post. Hope to see you there!

It's a wrap on our Wrapathon. It would be fantastic to wrap up our Just Giving appeal too by reaching our target before Christmas Day. Will you help us? Every £ helps our care experienced guests make new positive memories of Christmas. justgiving.com/campaign/cocoo…

Some lovely photos from our Christmas Day event. Thanks to all who contributed, including our volunteers, barber from Bros Hair in Richmond, hairdressers from Cocoon hair in Kingston (yes, they're really called that!), Heavenly Dish & all our guests. youtube.com/shorts/D_JoV2O…

Could you help an incredible care-experienced young woman secure her place on a volunteering trip of a lifetime? She would be so grateful for any donations. She's been working two jobs while studying in her 3rd year of uni to save - her Go Fund Me page - gofund.me/5907cd34
