2020 has proved to be quite a year.

As we were preparing for Christmas last year, we couldnt have imagined the unprecedented events that we would all face.

As we approach Christmas this year, many of us are discussing how well get to spend time with loved ones and how to get our Christmas shopping done without going to the shops.

The harsh reality of the pandemic is that for many, Christmas 2020 will be VERY different to how they were expecting at the start of the year; job losses, isolation, illness and business closures mean that even more local people are facing severe hardship this winter.

Together we can make Christmas and the months ahead brighter for local people and children in need, whether or not they are experiencing hardship due to COVID-19.

Buy an extra special gift and help change lives.

By giving a donation, you will be helping to provide a very special gift this Christmas as we all deserve to be warm, safe and fed at Christmas, and always.

Whatever you give, you will make a big difference:

Your £5 donation will help to heat a home for a week

Your £10 donation will help to feed a family for a week

Your £25 donation will buy a bed for a child in need

Your £40 donation will buy a cooker for a vulnerable local family

Your £100 donation will provide essentials for family whove experienced homelessness

This is possible because for every £10 you donate, we can access £50 from charitable trusts that are available to help local families in need meaning you can give an extra special gift this Christmas and help change local lives!

*All funds received for our Christmas campaign will be used in general support of our work; your donation will help enable us to provide essential items, such as those listed, to individuals and families experiencing hardship this winter. .
