Local residents are being invited to celebrate the season at Hammersmith Fire Station’s annual Christmas fundraiser, running across the weekend of Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 December.

The station, located on Shepherds Bush Road just a short walk from Hammersmith Broadway and the Underground interchange, will be transformed into a festive hub. Visitors can step into Santa’s Grotto, enjoy seasonal activities, and browse stalls from local traders—perfect for picking up last-minute gifts. There will be hot chocolate, marshmallows, and chocolate fondue served throughout the day with decorations, music, and plenty of festive cheer.

The organisers are calling for volunteers to help make the event a success. Roles include serving festive food and drink, running treat stalls, donating decorations or children’s toys and dressing up as Santa or one of his helpers

Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Jim Berry at James.berry@london-fire.gov.uk.

The event runs across both days, with doors open from morning until late afternoon. Entry is free, though donations are warmly welcomed.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
