Today is #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s a day to remind and encourage us to come together and do good.
This Christmas, we are asking you, our friends, to help share the love with those isolated and facing crisis this season. Because after all, every person deserves to be loved and especially at Christmas time – wouldn’t you agree?
Our LOVE Christmas Appeal is centred on a celebration; a wonderful opportunity for people to come together, receive food and gifts to help lessen the isolation that many face. For many, this event will be the only opportunity to celebrate the season.
Give today – and let’s make this Christmas one to remember. There are 3 ways you can help, donate money, donate a gift and spread the word.
Why give?
A 2015 testimonial from one of our referrers at The Carers Centre…
“Thank you, all recipients of the five hampers were very grateful! One of the hampers went to a carer who cares for both his very elderly parents – the father has since passed away so I like to think that the hamper helped to make the last Christmas a better one than if he hadn’t had the hamper. Also the carer who received the hamper with the soft toy for her baby grandson is now in a hospice for her final days. I don’t mean to depress you but merely highlighting the value of the hampers in helping others find some temporary respite from their difficult circumstances. Perhaps you could feed that back to your donors?”
How you can help
- Donate money. We couldn’t do this without the support from our funders and donors. Please consider donating today as a one off or set up a standing order. Just £10 could change someone’s life.
- Donate a gift. Please look through our Amazon wish list and purchase a gift to put a smile on someones face. Have it delivered straight to our office: First Love Foundation, Unit C18 Poplar Business Park, 10 Prestons Road, London, E14 9RL
- Spread the word. Please help us raise support and awareness this Christmas of the isolation people face right on our doorstep. Follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to see how your support truly makes a difference. Retweet and share our posts to join our fight.
Thank you for all of your support so far – we really do appreciate it.
