***6 DAYS TO GO***

With 6 Days to Go we just need to dig deep to get a few more gifts to reach target.

To reach target we still need 18 more gifts for Women and 39 more gifts for Men 🎅

So in the last 6 days of the Appeal we ask for you to dig deep and if possible gift to our Doncaster Christmas Appeal something for a Male or a Female who will be spending this Christmas in a Refuge as a result of Domestic Violence.

Thank You Thank You Thank You for all of your donations so far 🎅
