Make Christmas Brighter for Someone in Need

This Christmas, thousands of people across our communities face a season of hardship instead of joy.

People who’ve felt the bitter cold of the streets and the loneliness of homelessness. Individuals living with long-term mental health challenges, learning disabilities, or complex health needs. Young people stepping out of the care system, and children caught in the uncertainty of temporary housing or fleeing domestic abuse.

For many, the warmth and comfort we associate with Christmas—a hot meal, cosy bedding, a gift under the tree—are heartbreakingly out of reach. In may cases, we are their only source of support.

But together, we can change that.

Donate

Every donation makes a difference

Last year, your kindness helped us raise £17,500, enabling 95 services to host festive meals and celebrations. You helped bring joy to 300 children, many of whom received the only present they’d get all year. You made Christmas happen—for those who needed it most.

This year, we’re asking for your help again.

Every pound you give goes directly to helping children, families, and adults in our services feel seen, supported, and cared for this Christmas.
