Over the last three years we raised £1640 (our starting point for this year). Your kind donations helped people in Crisis. And so, we have extended the target in the hope of reaching a cumulative total of £2,500.

Here's why....

Every year there is the 'Crisis at Christmas' initiative. Crisis ensure homeless people get hot meals, warm drinks and shelter from the cold over the festive season, as well as company. But as good as that is, it does so much more. On hand over those days are a host of services - skills training, help with employment and ultimately support to get off the streets and into accommodation. Life changing.

It costs Crisis £29.80 for each person supported. That is too much money to ask of any of you, but I thought that if some of us could each donate just a few pounds then we may be able to support a few places. We will feedback on how many places we were able to support.

Fully understand if you can't donate, but big thanks for considering it again, and thanks in advance if you're able to help a little.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

A huge thank you and wishing you a very Happy Christmas,

Phil
