The Night Before Christmas Campaign is a local registered charity which helps local children and vulnerable adults at Christmas and throughout the year who are living in poverty. Due to the cost of living crisis there are a growing number of families who struggle at Christmas. Christmas 2024 we helped 8072 children and vulnerable adults to bring some magic to them at Christmas. We provide red bags full of joy which consist of Pyjama's, stationary, underwear, a toy or game and chocolate.

This is a community-led project to create and then manage a stunning artwork in a disused railway tunnel on an active-travel path at Alloway. To date we have involved over 2,000 local people mainly from schools and colleges but also involving the older generation to create the artwork under the guidance of a professional muralist. We believe involving so many of our local communities will provide a sense of ownership and help safeguard the artwork created.
