Dare we say it Christmas will soon be upon us and we truly hope you are looking ahead to some precious time with your loved ones.

The festive period isn't always one for cheer and this year more than ever we have more families living in poverty than ever before. With no money to purchase gifts, no food to put on the table and no fuel for warmth, Christmas this year particularly, can be a time of dread for many.

Team BLGC want to ensure no children, young person or family goes without this Christmas - whether that be food, presents, fuel and of course.. critical support.

This year you can help us make a HUGE difference to our families by Sponsoring a Bauble on our Christmas Tree or by getting involved in Operation Sleighbells as we deliver food hampers and Christmas presents to the families that we know have very little or go without.

Every little makes a huge difference. Here's an indication of exactly how your kindness can help.
