🚨🎄 URGENT APPEAL 🎁🚨
We only have a few days left, and we’re still £6,000 short of being able to support the families counting on us this Christmas.

This year has been incredibly tough.

The cost-of-living crisis is affecting almost everyone now, and we’ve seen it first-hand as donations have dropped dramatically while our costs have skyrocketed. We’re now at crisis point.

Yesterday I spoke to a client who’d been referred to us. What should have been a quick 2–3 minute call turned into a 20-minute conversation because they were lonely, scared, and hadn’t spoken to a single person in over a week. They cried on the phone, and it broke my heart💔

They won’t be the first, and they won’t be the last. But if we can help someone feel even a little less alone, a little more hopeful, and bring a smile to their face at such a dark time, we will.

But we can’t do it without your urgent help.

Without support, some children won’t wake up to a gift on Christmas morning, and many people won’t have a Christmas dinner, or even food in their bellies.🍽🎁

If you can spare even a few quid, it genuinely will help our local community members who are experiencing crisis this Christmas.

Every pound gets us closer to making sure no child and no one in our community is left facing a bleak Christmas.

Please consider a donation to support us this year, thank you for your kindness 💖

🚨❗ URGENT APPEAL – OUR SMALL CHARITY NEEDS YOUR HELP ❗🚨

This year, Manchester Christmas Relief is supporting over 1,050 people with Christmas dinner food parcels and more than 605 children with brand new gifts. But we are facing a deeply worrying situation.

Because of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, donations have dropped drastically.
As a small charity, we simply don’t have reserves to fall back on, and right now we need to raise £12,000 in the next 10 days just to deliver the support families are expecting from us.

We have never been this concerned but looking at our bank we don't even have enough to cover a quarter of the stuff we need to urgently purchase.

If you’re able to help, could you donate the cost of:
🍺 A pint or glass of wine you might have this weekend?
☕ Your daily coffee?
🛒 Even a small part of your weekly shop?

Anything, truly anything will help us reach the families who are relying on us. Every pound gets us closer to ensuring people in our own community don’t go without Christmas dinner and that every child wakes up to a gift.

💖Please donate and share this post.
Your small act of kindness could be the reason a family doesn’t face an empty Christmas.

Thank you SO much🎄💖

Two of our trustees Jen & Rob collected an amazing donation from Dunelm Stockport last week.

Thank you to Frankie and the team at Dunelm who have worked tirelessly to get as many gifts as possible for their delivering joy campaign to donate to charities

We were lucky to be one of their chosen charities for 2025. We are extremely grateful for the support and to the customers of Dunelm who have donated all these fantastic gifts, a big thank you. Without you lots of children would go without at Christmas.

We provide full Christmas dinner parcels with meat/veg alternative, vegetables, trimmings, condiments, snacks, puddings and extras.
