Every year, Look Ahead’s Secret Santa fundraising campaign provides a better, brighter Christmas for the individuals living in our services.
Without the support of the campaign, people may struggle to have the things most of us take for granted during the festive season, such as a hot Christmas dinner, warm clothes and presents for children.
Thanks to the generosity of individuals and corporate partners we surpassed our 2023 target, raising over £17,000. Every pound received went to the children, families and adults in our services.
Here is a breakdown of how donations made a real difference:
- 114 children aged 17 and under received Christmas presents
- 84 families living in domestic abuse services received money for presents and festivities
- 95 services received funds to organise meals and celebrations
- 206 customers living in our homelessness, mental health and learning disabilities services in Westminster received Christmas vouchers through a grant from London Heritage Quarter
All customers received a Christmas card designed by David, a Look Ahead customer living in one of our homelessness hostels.
We could not achieve this without the support of our corporate partners. Below is a list of donors we’d like to thank for helping us achieve our goal.
