"Christmas can be an extremely difficult time for our young people, some of whom do not get to see family over the holiday period. Receiving additional presents from people outside of the home provides a sense of belonging to the community and instils the sense of Christmas spirit."
Debbie Hinett, Registered Manager at one of our residential homes
"The Christmas hampers make a huge difference to the families of our learners who receive them at what is a challenging and stressful time. Most of our families are not able to afford luxuries, especially at Christmas when they are placed under the most financial strain and often getting into debt."
Leigh Fleming, Pastoral Lead at Ashcroft College
