FOREST BLOWN AWAY BY GENEROSITY OF FANS
Nottingham Forest has been humbled by the incredible response from supporters and local residents to the Club’s ‘Home For Christmas’ Food & Multibank collection project, in collaboration with Himmah, Nottingham’s largest independent food bank.
Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, we have already collected an incredible 2,274kg of essential food and non-food items, all of which will be distributed to Himmah’s beneficiaries in time for Christmas, offering dignity and hope to the most vulnerable members of our community.
The Club’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, has pledged to DOUBLE the total weight of all donations, amplifying the impact of this vital initiative. We now call on our fans to help us reach a remarkable target of 3000kg before the donation centre closes on Friday evening. Once matched by the owner, this will ensure that six tonnes of essential items will go to those in need this Christmas.

The Food & Multibank collection continues today and tomorrow, from 1pm to 7pm, at the Forest Fan Zone, located in the Brian Clough Stand car park, accessible from Scarrington Road.
‘Home For Christmas’ is a community-driven initiative, championed by Evangelos Marinakis, that ensures Nottingham Forest is a force for good this festive season.
The wider campaign has also included a Children’s Christmas Party at the City Ground for some of the region’s most deserving youngsters, a visit to the Children’s Hospital at QMC, serving hot meals to the local community at the Himmah Hub in Hyson Green, and an upcoming festive Open House on Monday, 23rd December, aimed at tackling social isolation and loneliness this Christmas.
If you are able, please continue to give generously and join us at the Fan Zone to help make this holiday season brighter for those in need.
Together, we can ensure that the Forest Family makes a positive impact on the lives of as many people as possible across our city.
Merry Christmas from everyone at Nottingham Forest Community Trust!
