This year's production marks nine years since the premiere of A Christmas Carol at the Old Vic in 2017. During that time, the venue has held charity collections to raise money for organisations aiding poverty and food deprivation, raising over £1.7m globally. This year's charity will be Feeding Britain, a UK-based charity working to eliminate hunger.

Andrew Forsey, National Director of Feeding Britain, said: "We owe a huge debt of gratitude to The Old Vic for choosing to support Feeding Britain over the festive season. Their generosity will enable us to continue supporting thousands of Londoners each week, who are struggling to meet their basic living costs, with programmes which simultaneously ease the pressure on their household budgets while improving their access to fresh, nutritious food."
