Fundraiser - Ealing Christmas Dinner

Story

We are organising a Christmas Day Dinner in the London Borough of Ealing for young people who have grown up in the care system and do not have a family to spend Christmas Day with. The first Christmas Day Dinner was established by writer and care leaver Lemn Sissay OBE in 2013. The Christmas Day Dinner in Ealing and is entirely run by volunteers who have come together to give young care leavers a very special Christmas Day. We need your support to make this Christmas Day happen. Your donation will show our young guests they are worth investing in and there are people like you who care. Your kind support will go towards paying for each young person to receive a special Christmas Day dinner, some wonderful presents and an essential hamper each to support them in the days after our Christmas Day event. We really hope you will donate, every little bit makes such a difference in helping to make Christmas Day happen and gives the young care leavers the opportunity to celebrate festivities together and feel supported by the community.
