Its Christmas Cheer 2023! programme is designed for charities providing support to individuals, families and the elderly who may be in need this Christmas and may otherwise go without.

Grants are restricted to funding Christmas gifts and food hampers, up to the value of £2,000. The final deadline to receive applications is September 15.

For more details, or to request and application form, call the charity on: 0118 403 2980 or email [email protected]
