Every year we take part in the shoebox appeal for the homeless, this year, Christmas will be a little different.  Most of us are lucky that we can still look forward to a cosy festive break spent celebrating as best we can, in secure homes where we can feel safe, warm, and comforted.

However, many people struggling with bad housing and homelessness have already endured the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic without a safe place to live. And now, Christmas will be spent in cramped bed and breakfasts, sleeping in cars, or in temporary accommodation hundreds of miles away from family.

No one should have to cope with such misery and stress – let alone at this time of year. It’s unacceptable, but we can help change this.

The Mason Advisory team will be creating shoe boxes (where possible) and asking for donations from the team to try and help make people less fortunate than ourselves have a Christmas to look forward to. 

If you would also like to donate, it would be really appreciated.  Together we can help some families have a better Christmas.
