Story

The cost of living crisis means many families are facing hardship this Christmas.

During these extremely challenging times, your support will help to make Christmas and the months ahead much brighter for people in need. You'll be helping to bring warmth to people who can't heat their homes, are unable to prepare a hot meal or don't even have a bed.

Whatever gift you are able to give, you'll be making a real difference and will be changing lives - Charity Link's unique way of working* means that we can turn every £10 donated into £50 of essential items for people in need across Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire. (Visit our website to find out more about how we do this).

This means :

£10 - £50 You would help to heat a home for a week

£15 - £75 You would help to feed a family in need for a week

£35 - £175 You would help to buy a bed for a child who doesnt have a bed of their own

£50 - £250 You would help to buy a cooker for a family unable to prepare a hot meal

£150 - £750 You would help to set up a family after a period of homelessness

By giving a donation this Christmas you really will be spreading warmth this Christmas. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy 2023
