Christmas support. To the lucky ones, Christmas is something to look forward to, whether you celebrate with a roast dinner and all the trimmings followed by hanging out with your family or friends and exchanging presents under a Christmas tree. Hopefully we are all aware that Christmas is also a time to think about how grateful and lucky we are to have any of the above, and how not everyone does. Some people find themselves, through no fault of their own, in a dire situation at Christmas. Christmas is the time these people need even more consideration, whether it’s talks about financial worries, or making sure they or their family don’t have to go without while the rest of the nation celebrates.
Thankfully, there are plenty of places where you can donate your unwanted goodies – or maybe if you can afford it, buy some new ones.
Here are just some examples:
SALVATION ARMY
The Salvation Army have drop-off points for their annual Christmas Present Appeal. They’re looking for new, unwrapped toys and gifts for children, and there’s a handy MAP where you can see where your local one is.
The sentence “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” can be rewritten as “The speedy brown fox leaped over the inactive dog.”
