Homeless charity, Roundabout, are providing presents to homeless children this Christmas.
Caitlin Meakin, 28, Marketing and Communications Manager at Roundabout, said: “Our support does not stop at Christmas, a time of joy and hope for many but also a time of fear and loneliness for others.”
Roundabout is a charity that supports more than 380 vulnerable young people every day, providing shelter, support, and life skills to help them gain independence all year round.
The charity is hoping Festive shoppers will add an extra present to their Christmas preparations, with a cash donation or gift for the vulnerable, the charity even has its own Amazon wishlist.
Emily Bush, Roundabout fundraising manager, said: “Our aim is always to give our young people as good a Christmas as possible but we cannot do that without the help of the public.
“We always ask our supporters to bear in mind that the young people we support range in age from 16 to 25 so we need things that that reflect that diversity.
“There are so many items you could give us – things like high street vouchers, games, home décor, pampering essentials, pyjamas, arts and craft supplies, stationary, books and gadgets such as headphones.
“Although we would love donations to include gift wrap or gift bags, we do ask that people do not wrap items, so that we can match each gift to an appropriate young person.
“If you decide to give a gift from our Amazon Wish List, you’ll be helping to make Christmas a special occasion for a young person who might otherwise believe they had no reason to celebrate this very special time of the year.”
Another way to support Roundabout at Christmas is to donate instead of buying gifts. A donation of £7.50 could buy a Christmas dinner, while £15 could give a young person shelter and £30 could fund a meditation session to help families this Christmas.
