Event Description

This year, give the gift of kindness this Christmas. Help us support the most vulnerable and elderly living within our local communities to help bring them some comfort this festive season. If you'd like to help, come and have a look at our Christmas Kindness Wish Tree and pick a wish to fulfil. All gifts need to be returned to the library unwrapped, in a gift bag, with the wish tag attached by 5pm on Thursday 11 December.

This year we have received wishes from multiple organisations/charities - please speak to staff for oragisation/charity details.

Thank you for all your kindness and support to connect our communities with kindness this Christmas. Find a Christmas Kindness Wish Tree at Chelmsford, Broomfield, North Melbourne, Galleywood, Springfield and Writtle Libraries.
