At Christmas we make sure that every resident receives a gift and a Christmas meal so they won’t feel alone. We are encouraging our supporters to donate online to minimise visitors to our sites at this time, but we appreciate many of you want to bring gifts, so please look at our suggestions below. You can also take a look at our web page detailing everyday items that our residents need all year round, such as new towels and shower gel, we’re always running out!
All donations received to this fund will be used to either buy our residents a gift e.g a musical instrument, sports equipment, gift card etc and funding the Christmas meal. Donate now
