We are thrilled to launch our Festive Star Appeal to bring joy to people with a learning disability this Christmas.
For a donation of £10 a beautiful, handcrafted star will be displayed on the East Kent Mencap Christmas tree, or if you are near one of our Hubs, you can pick it up to hang on your own tree. Each star is unique and has been created by over 40 dedicated volunteers using sustainable materials from The ScrapStore.
Your generous donation will go towards festive events and activities, creating unforgettable memories for people with a learning disability. Christmas can be a lonely time, especially for those who don’t have any close family to celebrate with. We want our festive activities to be joyful, with food and entertainment for everyone, especially for those who might otherwise feel left out or be spending Christmas alone.
Help us reach our £1,000 goal
Jason Gerlack, CEO of East Kent Mencap, said, “Your donation will directly support people with a learning disability to lead independent and fulfilling lives, bringing them joy this festive season. Thank you for supporting our Star Appeal and helping us to make a difference.”
How to donate
To support the appeal, please visit here and donate £10 (or more if you would like). When donating online add ‘Star Appeal’ in the comments box and if you would like to collect your star from one of our Hubs in Ramsgate, Margate, Swale, Herne Bay, or at The ScrapStore in Ramsgate, please note that as well. Otherwise, your star will be displayed on our Hubs’ Christmas trees for all to enjoy.
If you have any questions, please email funds@eastkentmencap.co.uk, we would be delighted to help.
