Story
Help bring a little cheer to the kids in Grimsby who cannot spend Christmas at home.
GrimsbyLive has launched a campaign to raise £1,000 for children who will spend Christmas in the Women's Aid refuge in Grimsby because their mums have had to leave their homes because of domestic violence.
All the money raised through December 2019 will be used to buy presents for an estimated 25 children who, without help, face Christmas without all those things families take for granted during the festive season. This campaign is in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Women's Aid .
So let's send Father Christmas on a surprise visit to the kids staying at Grimsby Women's Aid!
For full details see our story in the Grimsby Telegraph and on GrimsbyLive on Monday, December 2. For further details email newsdesk@grimsbytelegraph.co.uk or message us on Facebook .
