Conservatives deliver the Bexley Box to vulnerable Residents

When the Labour Party cruelly cut the winter fuel allowance, our Conservative Council and Councillors created the Bexley Box. From the initial idea to final delivery took just a few weeks and has helped many vulnerable Bexley residents stay warm this winter. Councillors in Bexleyheath and Crayford, led by Cllr Baroness O’Neill of Bexley OBE, played their full part. 

The Councillors would like to thank everyone who has donated money or items for our Bexley Boxes, or volunteered time to help with packing or delivering them.  The Councillors have been thrilled with the response from local residents, businesses and Councillors to help housebound pensioners stay well this winter. 

There have been literally thousands of donated items - from tins of soup and fruit, packets of rice and pasta, boxes of tea bags and mince pies, to new woollen hats and socks.  Each Bexley Box is unique and includes a selection of warming food staples, some items of clothing such as a blanket, hat, gloves and socks to help keep the recipients stay warm, along with guidance on how to keep well this winter and contact details if further support is needed.

Bexley boxes have been funded entirely by local donations. They are now being distributed by volunteers to housebound elderly residents across the Borough.
