Did someone say the C word?

By Jenny Appleby | Project administrator

Last year’s festivities began with a beautiful Christmas service at St. Paul's Cathedral, followed by a party at the girls' transit house. All the children from our four sites gathered together to celebrate. Sharing a festive meal, opening gifts, and laughing together gave these children a true sense of family, a rare and magical break from the hardships of street life.

We are already thinking about our festive planning to ensure this Christmas is just as special. Bringing the children together from all four sites requires coordination, transport, and resources.

The funds donated by you are vital to making these celebrations possible, ensuring every child in our care experiences the warmth and joy of the season. Your continued support enables us to keep creating these unforgettable moments of belonging. Thank you for making their festive season bright!
