We believe that everyone deserves the basics in life, no matter what crisis, illness, disability or difficulty they may be going through. We change lives by providing essential items, including food, clothing, beds, cookers and fridges to help improve quality of life for vulnerable people in need.

Story

The news is packed with stories of how tough this winter is going to be for those most in need in our communities. As COVID continues to impact many lives, as the bonus Universal Credit payment is withdrawn, as food and utility prices rise as people go into the months when they may usually have to juggle between 'eating and heating' due to financial hardship, together we can all make a difference and help local lives.

Via last year's Christmas campaign our amazing supporters helped over 1,000 people in need during December 2020 and January 2021, including nearly 400 children. Items provided included over 120 cookers, 100 fridge-freezers and 71 beds during the period.

This year the need is just as great, if not greater. Whatever you can give, your gift really will change lives.

Give £25 to help buy a bed for someone in desperate need or donate a gift of our choice to help make Christmas and the months ahead much brighter for the most vulnerable families across Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire.

Whatever gift you are able to give, you'll be making a real difference.

Due to Charity Link's unique way of working, for every £10 donated we can provide £50 of essential items for local people and families in desperate need.

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

Because we all deserve to be warm, safe and fed...at Christmas and always.
