“I have been to the EECF EVERY year since it began – 28 years ago. You can do at least half your Christmas shopping, which takes all the pressure off busy people near Christmas time, so there is no last-minute searching for presents. It’s run by an amazing team of dedicated people for a charitable cause, and gives opportunities to small businesses too. The range of presents is enormous, from affordable to spoiling in price and many choices and ideas for ‘he boys/men, who are often tricky to choose for!! I love it, and would not manage Christmas without it and it is the best time to catch up with so many”. L Homer

 We so look forward to welcoming you all again this year.

I’d like to add a little extra to help cover the fees of maintaining the technology that keeps this platform available for donations. Why?info

Gift Aid I confirm I have paid or will pay an amount of UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or community amateur sports clubs that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I have given.

Just a short note to thank you for organising such a wonderful Fair this week. Every detail covered including a ‘ruby’ on Tuesday evening, brilliant! Business was also very good which made the journey home along the dreaded M25 much more tolerable. Thank you again.

Well done with all your hard work to make the EEXF such a success. As ever your organising skills and attention to detail ensured a great fair. We much enjoyed the evening, spent too much money and saw many old chums! But what a pleasure. Congratulations to you and all your team.

We would like to say a big thank you for the wonderful hamper! It was such a surprise to receive the message to say I had won it, and an even bigger surprise to receive it and see the wonderful gifts in side, we were overwhelmed by it! We had such a fabulous time at the Early Early Christmas Fair this year. We attended as a group of new mums, formed from our NCT group and with our babies ranging from 4-6 months and had a wonderful time shopping, lunching together and just having a lovely relaxing time. Everyone was so wonderfully welcoming and accommodating for our little group of babies and prams going around as well! Thank you again for the wonderful hamper and a fabulous time!

Caroline well done you and all your team for the great EECF 2022. You returned to full performance with style and a splendid variety. It was good to see new stall holders as well as some old hands. The new ones I spoke to were impressed by the organisation, support and welcome they received. Supper was also excellent. All in all a most enjoyable evening of shopping and seeing friends. Thank you!

A note to Tony
Read Wiltshire Life Article What is community and why is it so important?

It is with great sadness that we announce that Lt Col (Retd) Tony Blanch, Wiltshire County Chairman of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, passed away on March 23rd 2023, after a long and courageous fight with cancer. We send his wife Fran and all the family our love at this very sad time. Tony did so much to support the charity and will be missed hugely within the community.
