This year will be the first year that I will be spending the majority of Christmas alone. Unfortunately I won't see my children until late Christmas day, as I was lucky enough to have them last year. The thought of being alone over the festive period isn't something I am looking forward to and although I do have offers from friend's and family i'd like to do something more positive instead.

I intend to spend my Christmas Eve on the streets of Manchester helping the homeless with food, warm clothing and hopefully spreading a little Christmas cheer :)

I know money is tight for everyone this time of year so all that I ask is a donation of whatever you can give. Even if its just £1 it will help towards making a huge difference to someone.

If you would like to donate winter clothes i.e. Hats, scarves, gloves, and extra socks please e-mail me directly.

Lastly, if anyone would like to tag along on my little Christmas mission please also e-mail me to discuss
