There are children and young people in Southampton, right now, who are living on the street or sleeping on someone's sofa, vulnerable to exploitation. Cold, hungry and lonely. At Christmas they will be on the outside, looking in at other people having fun. It's hard to think about these young people and others who are vulnerable or disadvantaged as we sit down to a Christmas dinner with our families.

Over the Christmas period, No Limits expects to welcome and support 68 young people who are street homeless or sofa surfing at our Advice Centre, as well as many more vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people for whom Christmas is just another day. Please help us to give them a taste of Christmas, comfort for the winter and hope for the future.

This Christmas period we will:

* Provide packs with sleeping bags, warm clothes, everyday essentials and Christmas treats to homeless and sofa-surfing young people across the City.

* Hold a Christmas meal at our Advice Centre for 50 vulnerable and disadvantaged young people across the City

* Give Christmas gifts to 245 children and young people who might otherwise not receive a gift this Christmas.

We can't do this without your support. Please help children and young people this Christmas period by donating towards this work.
