At 18:00 on December 18 2024, I will be joined by some talented musical friends to perform festive songs and Christmas carols on the street outside our house. With mulled wine in hand and mince pies to share, we hope to create a warm, joyous atmosphere that brings our community together to celebrate the holiday season.

We’re doing this for two important reasons: to spread Christmas cheer and to raise funds for Family Food Action (FFA), a local Bristol charity dedicated to relieving food poverty.

FFA is a remarkable organisation that promotes community engagement and awareness while working tirelessly to address food insecurity in Bristol. Through local networking, they collect food and other essential supplies to distribute to community partners who support families and children living in food poverty.

My employer, Microsoft, will match every donation made to this page, effectively doubling the impact of your support. This means every £1 you give becomes £2 for FFA, amplifying the good we can do together.

Let’s come together to help ensure no family in Bristol has to go without. Your donation, no matter how small, can provide warmth, joy, and nourishment to someone in need.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

So much love and thanks, we can't do this without you.
