Crisis at Christmas

Screen Shot 2015-12-23 at 11.12.37

 

Whatever you think about Christmas, a core value of it is hospitality – taking someone in. If you cannot literally do that, then consider doing it in spirit via Crisis at Christmas.

Christmas can be a bad time of year for all sorts of reasons, but if you have no family and no home, it makes a bad situation unbearable. Crisis at Christmas runs centres all over the UK that are open from December 23rd to December 29th when everything else is shut and there is nowhere else to go.

A donation of £22.29 will give someone access to three square meals and other facilities that might make a real difference to their lives. I know it’s a lot and the donation process is a bit long-winded, but if you feel like it, donate here.

    A really worthy charity Esther. Thanks for the heads-up. I always give to them because I can’t go and help them over Christmas as some of my friends tirelessly do. One Facebook friend got people to sponsor him for his time in one of the Crisis kitchens this year. So far he has raised over 2K. Brilliant! Merry Christmas to the Corens. X
