Story

"I am overwhelmed that there are people out there who care so much. This has been the toughest year and I had no idea how I was going to afford anything for my children. You are like my guardian angels. I am crying tears of joy."

"No words can express how grateful I am - I'm in floods of tears. All the worry and anxiety over Christmas and how I am going to afford anything has gone thanks to you special people."

These are the stories we hear and the feedback we receive. With your help, we can make a difference to people who will find this Christmas incredibly tough. By donating to our Christmas Kindness campaign, you can help The Lighthouses support local individuals and families to have a joy-filled Christmas. And our work doesn't stop there! We continue to support them throughout the year, providing education, coaching and practical support.

Your donation goes towards supporting more than 700 local people and families with food parcels, toys, pyjamas, care packages, community Christmas brunch and so much more.

Together we're supporting friends and neighbours who may be escaping danger or domestic violence, have lost a partner, are suffering with depression, are caregivers or experiencing ill health, bringing a little joy into their world this Christmas.
