Christmas is usually a time of celebration and joy, but there are hundreds of people across our community facing Christmas alone. They may be homeless, single parents, people in recovery or those who are long-term unemployed and living in poverty. Aspire supports these people all year round, and this Christmas we want to make sure that they all have a place at the table.

On Thursday 14th December, Aspire will be holding a Big Christmas Lunch in partnership with local community organisations for 200 homeless and disadvantaged people. This lunch will provide a hot meal, much needed company and a Christmas gift. Crucially, it will also give everyone who comes to the lunch access to the longer-term, specialist employment support needed to address the root causes of poverty and disadvantage and help build a brighter future.

£15 could pay for a hot meal and a Christmas gift at our Big Lunch in December

£32 could pay for a training course to help a homeless person into employment 

£68 could pay for work uniforms for 6 Aspire trainees

Please help us make sure that no one is forgotten this Christmas
