Families are increasingly finding themselves in crisis, due to benefit sanctions, rising debt, ill health, housing concerns, violence and family legal matters. Families find themselves at most pressure in holiday periods, when they struggle to cover added food and child care costs, even without the added pressures of Christmas adding to peoples anxiety.

YOU can break the cycle of poverty for local families this Christmas

with a pre-Christmas pre-NUPP (No Unnessary Present Pact) - as recently launched by Money Saving Expert: www.moneysavingexpert.com/nupp

This year agree not to buy each other presents, instead ask your friends to donate to Caritas Family Project in your name.
