Christmas Cheer!
Local charities using their Christmas Cheer! Grant Awards to spread festive joy.
Christmas Cheer Grant Programme Now Open!
We're delighted to announce that our Christmas Cheer! Grant Programme is back for its fourth year! This initiative provides a token contribution to local charities, community groups and organisations supporting individuals and families experiencing hardship over the festive season.
About the Christmas Cheer! Grant
For many, Christmas can be a difficult time without the means to enjoy gifts, a festive meal or a seasonal outing. The Christmas Cheer Grant helps spread joy and creates special moments for those who might otherwise miss out.
Grants can be used to fund festive activities such as:
- Providing Christmas gifts
- Hosting a festive meal or celebration
- Organising seasonal outings and events
These small but meaningful contributions bring warmth, community, and the magic of Christmas to people who need it most.
Who Can Apply?
We welcome applications from local charities and organisations that support people living in poverty across the Wokingham Borough. If your work helps ensure more people can enjoy the spirit of Christmas, we encourage you to apply.
How to Apply
Applying is simple - just click below and complete our online form, outlining how your

Applications close at the end of the day on 12th October 2025.
The Grants Committee will be meeting on 21st October to review applications.
We aim to share the outcomes with applicants by 24th October.
Thank you for the incredible work you do all year round. Together, we can make this Christmas a little more joyful for everyone.
