We believe that no child or young person should miss out because of circumstances beyond their control. That is why we set up the Young Person’s Fund. The includem Young Person’s Fund was set to provide extra support to the children, young people, and families we work with, many of whom are affected by poverty and don’t always have access to things that many of us can take for granted.

Over the years, our Young Person’s Fund has enabled children and young people to access activities and facilities in their local communities, as well as providing emergency support.

From swimming lessons to football boots, a place on a training course or a warm winter coat, the Young Person’s Fund is there to make sure every child or young person gets the extra support they need.

That’s why this Christmas, we’re on a mission to ensure that for one day, the only difficult choice the families we support need to make is how to enjoy Christmas Day together.

The Young Person's Fund Winter Appeal is looking to raise money to help give the gift of Christmas this year.

Any funds raised will be used to provide gifts – from selection boxes/books/clothes or toys – and experiences – such as tickets to the Panto or memory-making moments like meeting Santa - for the families we support we want to create a little magic this festive season.
