This year we wish to spread the festive spirit with kindness. YMCA North Staffordshire is launching a campaign to raise funds to provide 500 families across Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire with Christmas Hampers. Any funds raised by you will be matched pound for pound.

The Christmas Hampers campaign is in response to the ongoing challenges caused by Covid-19. During spring and summer, YMCA North Staffordshire supported over 1500 families with food, activity packs, phone befriending and other support. As we enter the festive period, YMCA North Staffordshire is committed to helping families in our communities, working with partners and other organisations to ensure no family goes without this Christmas.

Many people have declared Christmas is cancelled, but this is not so, and as far as we're concerned, we wish to make Christmas 2020 as hopeful and joy-filled as possible for as many people as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.
