Since 2013, the Sir Simon Milton Foundation started a programme to give Christmas hampers to some of the most disadvantaged older people in Westminster. 

In 2024 in partnership with Westminster City Council we supported the distribution of 800 Christmas hampers to be delivered to older residents and those with support and care needs across the city, brightening their day with a surprise hamper filled with festive treats. Thanks also to Victoria Business Improvement Districts, Acari Group Limited, Explora Security and individual donors who also supported this project. 

The hampers were delivered by wonderful Council volunteers (from ‘Westminster Connects’)

"I'm writing on behalf of my mother, who recently received a Christmas hamper from the Sir Simon Milton Foundation through Westminster Council.

She has Alzheimer's and now doesn't get out a huge amount. So, your kind gift made her feel part of the world, and that is hugely meaningful and satisfying to her. And, as her son, may I say that the positive effect that your gift has had on her means more than words can say. "
