With Christmas seeming a long time ago now, the seemingly never ending cold and snowy weather and being in our third lockdown, we wanted to share a bit of cheer by thanking the wonderful people and organisations who donated to us over Christmas!
This list is by no means exhaustive and there are so many people we have to thank for continued support throughout the year, but we wanted to express how important every bit of support we receive is to us. Whether an individual person donates £5 to us, or a large organisation sends us boxes of gifts for the families, it all means the absolute world to us, and helps us to support mom’s and their children in their journey back to happiness.
