A table is more than furniture. It’s where stories are shared, meals are passed, and laughter echoes across the plates. But for too many people this winter, there’s no table — no warm meal, no safe place to be. That’s why we’re inviting you to pull up a chair at ours. Your donation helps people across the UK find warmth, food, and a place to call home.

Help someone find their seat.

Laughter brings us together — warmth keeps us there

For 40 years we have been using the power of humour and popular culture to do something seriously good. Because when people laugh, they connect. And when they connect, they care. This campaign isn’t about gloom; it’s about generosity, togetherness and a little bit of British cheer. Whether you give the cost of your festive dinner, your morning coffee, or your dodgy Secret Santa gift — it all makes a difference.
