Speaking to The Metro, Scott said: "There’s been so much bad news in regards to the Paris attacks, that I thought it would be nice to show people that we do care and there are still lots of loving people around.
"I never dreamed I would get the response I have. I will be getting everyone offering to help to drop stuff at my home just before Christmas Eve, and I will take some boxes around the streets and some to a homeless shelter."
Scott isn't the first person to create an advent calendar that gives back this year.
Julie Van Rosendaal launched the #ReverseAdventCalendar campaign in America last month to encourage members of the public to donate spare goods to food banks throughout December.
“We were trying to create a winter wonderland scene and save money by shooting our own picture. We ended up with almost 90 photos that all looked like this, so we just went with it and this year I got actual requests to post this card.” (credit:Awkward Family Photos)

“During our holiday family photo shoot this year, we wanted to recreate a cute one we got last year when Tommy was just a baby. It didn’t quite turn out like we hoped it would… next time I guess mom should avoid sticking her nose in his eye.” (credit:Awkward Family Photos)

Dad’s short-shorts and high socks highlighted his fashion-forward attitude and athleticism; my sister’s cheer leading perfection revealed her vow to never look bad in any photo -- ever, and my single jazz hand stance complete this Awkward Family Christmas Card from 30 years ago.” (credit:Awkward Family Photos)

"It was crazy windy and this was the only day to take our yearly Christmas pictures that fit our busy schedule. My husband is trying to hold our one year old as he’s wiggling around kicking his legs and knocking our middle child in the head causing him to scream. I am trying to keep calm while I’m holding him with a half smile on my face. While our oldest son is waiting patiently for our family photographer to say ‘Cheese!’ Needless to say, this picture did make it on the Christmas card and everyone loved it!

“My parents just got a hot tub and were very excited about it. Therefore, my grandma hired a professional photographer to take a family photo in the hot tub. For some reason, they posed with wine and candles even though the children were not old enough to drink… and were caught off-guard when people disturbingly asked if they were wearing clothes after they sent it out to 150-plus friends as a Christmas card.” (credit:Awkward Family Photos)
