Story

 Christmas can be a very difficult time for many of the people accessing our services and we are often the only support network they have. Being able to provide them with a Christmas meal and a gift helps them feel valued and special and brings many of them together at what can be a very lonely time. 

Sarah, who lives in one of our homelessness services said;   "Christmas is really a really hard time for me as I don't have contact with my family because of my problems. I know why it is hard for them to be around me, and being here with SSJ is really helping me to make the changes I need to make so that I can see those I care about the most again in the future. SSJ is like a family to me and they work so hard to make Christmas special for all of us.'"     

Any additional money raised will be put towards our capital appeal to buy another house so that we can help more vulnerable homeless people off the streets into a safe home where they can really start to turn their lives around.        �R��
