Charity Link’s monthly challenges have begun with January’s challenge of give up to give.

As it’s my birthday in January, this year I’m giving up birthday presents and asking for donations to Charity Link instead.

Charity Link provides essential items to people and children facing financial hardship and crisis in Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire.

And due to Charity Link’s unique way of working, untapping funds from charitable trusts, every £10 that is donated provides £50 of essential items.

Any size donation will be very greatly appreciated. Thank you!
