The excitement of Christmas, with presents, festive food and even the chance of some snow, on many people’s minds in Brentwood.
But although Brentwood is a relatively well-off Borough, there are some families who struggle, and some vulnerable children who are less likely to get Christmas gifts.
But this is where Essex Police’s Neighbourhood Policing Team has stepped in for the last few years, by identifying children who could do with some cheer in their lives and getting an Amazon wish list together if anyone wants to buy some extra presents for those in need.
The Brentwood Buzz has been finding out how we can all help spread some Christmas joy.
And here’s more information about what the Essex Police Neighbourhood Policing Team in Brentwood is doing this Christmas, with the all important link to the Amazon wish list:
“This festive season, we are running our Christmas Present Appeal again!
We are teaming up with local partners to bring a little extra cheer to families in need. We’re calling on our amazing community to donate new, unwrapped gifts suitable for children and young people of all ages.
Drop-off location: Brentwood NPT, Brentwood Town Hall, Ingrave Road, CM15 8AY
Deadline for donations: 12th December 2025
Every gift makes a difference and helps ensure no child goes without a present this Christmas. Whether it’s toys, books, games, or treats – your generosity can light up someone’s holiday. 
Let’s come together and make this season magical for everyone.”
