Christmas at Lloyd’s: Gingerbread House

About this event

Thu 8 & Thu 15 Dec

We will be hosting our annual Gingerbread House Challenge in the Lloyd’s building.

Teams can enter to help raise funds to support Habitat for Humanity GB’s vital work fighting housing poverty. All you have to do is build and decorate a gingerbread house and make a donation of £5 (per colleague) to take part and be in with a chance of winning a fantastic Christmas hamper.

We have two ways of taking part this year, either in person or remotely.

Gather your team and come along to Lloyd’s on Thursday 8 or Thursday 15 December to decorate your Gingerbread House. All materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own additional embellishments.
Request a gingerbread house kit from the Lloyd’s Global Community Engagement team and decorate it at home with friends and family or bake or buy your own.

Spaces are limited, so please sign up by 8 December specifying the time slot you would like, and we will do our best to accommodate.

Supporting Habitat for Humanity

We are proud to support Habitat for Humanity Great Britain. Our partnership launched in October 2019 and together we are building resilient communities that can withstand and recover from the devastating impact of natural disasters.

Our current support project – the Urban Resilience Building Assistance Network in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – partners with a community that has been hit by several destructive flooding events over the last 20 years. Working with local communities and authorities, this project will build community resilience to protect against flood hazards through sewage infrastructure and better hygiene practices in congested urban areas by utilising collaborative resources. This collaboration is key to the success of disaster preparation and is at the heart of this project.

Our support for this project will deliver improvements to the drainage system, benefitting 4,000 households and giving 20,000 individuals access to sanitation facilities, improved water and a ‘flood risk map’ to understand hotspots and develop future mitigation measures.
