The Christmas spirit comes from small acts of kindness. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together 12 festive and easy ideas for how you can help out through Commu. Most take less than an hour, and none of them require any particular experience. If everyone chooses just one, together we\u2019ll be spreading plenty of Christmas cheer! Even small gestures go a long way: clearing snow from the driveway for a neighbour, spending time with someone who lives alone, or buying an advent calendar for a child.<\/p>\n

Help close to home:<\/strong>
\n1. Offer to clear snow.<\/strong> For many elderly or mobility-impaired people, snow in the garden and in front of the door is the biggest struggle in December. Shovel away this worry!
\n2. Pop to the shop or pharmacy on someone else\u2019s behalf.<\/strong> When you\u2019re out shopping yourself, take your neighbour\u2019s shopping list with you. It\u2019s both efficient and makes their day.
\n3. Help carry a Christmas tree or decorations.<\/strong> Picking up a Christmas tree or lifting boxes down from the loft is a brilliant way to do your bit for the neighbourhood this Christmas. Decorating together with someone is also cosier than alone.
\n4. Accompany someone to a Christmas event.<\/strong> Christmas concerts, carol singing or Christmas markets are more enjoyable when experienced together.<\/p>\n

Give, lend, share:<\/strong>
\n5. Get an advent calendar for a child.<\/strong> Offer an advent calendar to a child from a family in need. First, check what sort of calendar they\u2019d like and whether the child has any allergies. A month\u2019s worth of joy!
\n6. Donate any unwanted items in good condition to a new home.<\/strong> Toys, winter clothes and outdoor gear are needed by many families right now. Let Commu know what you have to give away.
\n7. Lend out your party tableware or extra chairs.<\/strong> Not everyone has ten plates or room for extra chairs. Lending saves money and helps the environment at the same time.
\n8. Bake an extra trayful.<\/strong> When you\u2019re baking Christmas tarts or gingerbread biscuits, share some with a neighbour or a family for whom it will bring a bit of Christmas cheer. Food and item donations on Commu are facilitated through strong identity verification, making it safe for both parties.<\/p>\n

Remote support:<\/strong>
\n9. Make a Christmas phone call.<\/strong> Many people spend Christmas alone. You can offer someone company over the phone via Commu. Even a half-hour conversation can make someone\u2019s Christmas special.
\n10. Help set up a video call.<\/strong> Show someone how to make a video call, so they can take part in Christmas festivities remotely.
\n11. Write a Christmas card.<\/strong> A handwritten card warms everyone\u2019s heart. Offer to write a card on Commu, or ask if you can send a delightful surprise card to a friend of a Commu user.
\n12. Join in on a charity\u2019s Christmas event.<\/strong> Christmas parties, charity collections and food distributions all need a helping hand. Browse Commu\u2019s volunteer opportunities and sign up for an evening.<\/p>\n

Commu already has over 150,000 users, and together they\u2019ve carried out over 60,000 good deeds. This Christmas, your deed could be the next one.<\/p>\n
