“To our friends,

“We’re sure you would agree that Christmas should be a time of joy, relaxation and happy memories. For some of the people we support at YMCA Lincolnshire, that’s much harder to make a reality, particularly in light of the Cost of Living Crisis.

“In addition to the rest of our vital work, every year at Christmas we help ensure vulnerable families and people experiencing homelessness have a great time – during a period of the year which can often feel lonely, stressful, and high-pressure – by providing gifts, food and essentials to the people we support who are most in-need.

“You can make a difference to disadvantaged children and their families, as well as vulnerable adults, by taking part in our Christmas Giving Campaign. This year, we will be gifting Family Food Hampers, Essentials Shoeboxes, and Children’s Toy Boxes – and you can help us by fully creating one of these packages, or simply by donating just a few items to contribute towards them.

“If you click here you’ll see a list of the kinds of things we need to go into each type of gift. Please note that your donations need to be dropped off at The Showroom by Sunday 18th December 2022.

“You really can help someone less fortunate have a Christmas to remember.

“If you have any questions, please do let me know. Thank you for your support, as always.”
