Walsall, 24/12/24 – As the festive period unfolds and temperatures continue to drop, Bluuprint Communities is proud to launch its Winter Support Initiative, a heartfelt mission to provide support and hope to 250 households in the Walsall community this winter. The initiative will ensure that those in need during this challenging season have access to food, essential resources and support.
The Winter Support Initiative was successfully launched during the Caring Christmas Annual Event which took place on the 20th December at St Paul's Church Walsall, where over 100 individuals and families across Walsall attended the event and were served a warm Christmas meal. They also received free gifts for children and single parents, raffle prizes, and a free bag of food and toiletries to take home.
A Celebration of Community
The Caring Christmas Annual Event was a heartwarming reminder of Bluuprint’s mission: creating a community where neighbors uplift and support one another. With 25 dedicated volunteers on hand, guests were welcomed into a festive atmosphere filled with kindness, joy, and the true spirit of giving.
Everyone shared a lovely Christmas meal, children enjoyed crafts and received free gifts, and single parents were treated to thoughtful presents. Raffle prizes added extra cheer to the day. The event helped ensure that everyone left feeling a little lighter, knowing they weren’t facing the festive season and the harsh winter months alone.
Supporting Families in Challenging Times
As the cost of living rises and freezing temperatures set in, many families are forced to choose between heating their homes and putting food on the table. Bluuprint’s Winter Support Initiative provides vital assistance, offering:
Warmth for Every Home: In partnership with Better Housing Better Health, Bluuprint provides free energy vouchers and practical energy-saving advice to help families stay warm.
Nutritious Food Access: Through Lucy’s Pantry, Bluuprint ensures families in need have access to free food and nutritious groceries to help them make ends meet.
Moments of Connection: The initiative also fosters companionship and a sense of belonging through community meals and shared stories.

Powered by Partnership and Generosity
This initiative would not be possible without the tremendous support of WHG, Walsall Council, Church at Junction 10, and countless other generous organisations and individuals who have donated resources, volunteered their time, and offered operational assistance.
“Bluuprint’s Winter Support Initiative is not just about addressing immediate needs, it’s about showing our neighbors that we care,” said Lisa Lucy Gakunga, CEO of Bluuprint Communities. “Thanks to our partners and the generosity of the Walsall community, we’re able to offer more than just warmth and food. We are offering hope and support during a time when people need it the most.”
How You Can Continue the Ripple of Kindness
Bluuprint invites the local community to continue supporting this heartfelt initiative:
Donate: Whether it’s non-perishable food, winter clothing, toiletries, or financial contributions, every gift helps make a difference.
Volunteer: Lend a hand at Lucy’s Pantry, assist with distributing food and gifts, or help behind the scenes.
Spread the Word: Share information about the Winter Support Initiative to ensure that everyone in need knows where to turn for help.
Looking Beyond Winter
While the Winter Support Initiative provides immediate relief, it is part of Bluuprint Communities broader vision for creating a compassionate, thriving community. By addressing both immediate needs and laying the foundation for long-term change, Bluuprint Communities is helping families build resilience and hope for the future.
