This Christmas as friends and families gather, children’s eyes sparkle with excitement, warmth, chatter, laughter and companionship fills our homes and our hearts, somewhere in the next village, street or even in the house next door a family is waking up in despair.
The harsh reality is this Christmas a family, OAP or individual on our doorstep will wake on Christmas morning, to see their breath, not presents under the tree, as the cold inside their homes cuts deep.
Little ones will be upset when they discover that Santa didn’t visit them in the night and families will spend a day in a cold home with no special dinner, tree or fun and laughter. This is the reality in our city and shire in 2023.
Somebody Cares will continue to do all that they can to provide for those in need during such challenging times. However, as charities struggle for funding, the charity urgently needs your help.
This Christmas Somebody Cares aims to provide every household who turns for help with enough food to see them through the festive period, and include where possible Christmas treats, gifts and Christmas eve bags for little ones.
A donation of £5 will ensure a family pet receives some food, £10 will ensure a child enjoys the magic of Christmas eve, £25 will help feed an individual and a donation of £50 will go towards feeding a family. However, please donate whatever you are able too.
You can donate by following the link to the Urgent Just Giving Appeal.
The way to help a city is to love it.
