The Christmas season provides an opportunity for organisations and individuals to spread cheer and give back. Christmas treats have become one of the most enduring aspects of corporate social responsibility displayed by many companies and social groups.

Christmas treats not only bring the joy of Christmas to its beneficiaries, but also increase goodwill and teamwork among the people who organise them. It reminds us that sharing with others not only improves their lives, but also ours. With the plethora of Christmas treats bringing cheer to the less fortunate during this season, The Gleaner captured heart-warming moments from a selection of these.
