We have only one wish this Christmas – to host a big celebration for all our community members on Christmas day. We can already see the smiles on people’s faces as they are welcomed into the space, receive a warm meal, and perhaps even a small gift. Can you help us make this happen?

We have started a fundraiser to raise the £3,500 needed. Thanks to our amazing partners and supporters, we have already raised more than £700 – and we haven’t even promoted it yet – you are the best! ![🙏🏿](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/tff/1/16/1f64f_1f3ff.png)

That also means we still need to raise £2800 to make it the amazing celebration we have in mind. We believe that this is possible. All we need is a little help from you. Whether it is sharing this status, making a little personal donation yourself, or collecting money at the office, starting a Christmas donation at church, in your neighbourhood network — there are so many ways you can contribute! Any help is greatly appreciated. ![👏🏾](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t7c/1/16/1f44f_1f3fe.png)
