Christmas can be a difficult time for care leavers with many spending Christmas alone. For the last 5 years, The Leeds Care Leavers Christmas Dinner has made sure that 50 young people had a day to remember with food, presents and friends. However, due to the pandemic, that won’t be possible this year.

But we are determined that our young people will not be forgotten. So, we will be taking Christmas to their doorsteps. On Christmas Day our dedicated volunteers will be delivering hot food, presents and some Christmas cheer to care experienced young people across out city.

With the help of Asda in Pudsey we are buying gifts to make Christmas at home a little cosier.

* A £5 donation will buy a toasty hot water bottle.

* A £10 donation will buy some Christmas lights.

* A £15 donation will buy a toiletries gift set.

* A £20 donation will buy a Christmas treats hamper including hot chocolate, marshmallows, sweets and popcorn..

Every donation is welcome and we ask that you use the comments to send your Christmas wishes and thoughts to our young people.
