Making a donation this Christmas

By 25th October 2024December 10th, 2024No Comments

KEEP DONATING THIS CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY PERIOD TO SUPPORT CHILDREN YEAR-ROUND! 

We reached our goal of providing Christmas dinners and wrap-around support for 100 families – anything extra now only enables us to support MORE children!!

We raised £10,000 and the Big Give doubled your impact to £20,000, helping us support these families throughout the year.

Since Christmas 2020 we have partnered with Cambridge Fruit Company to provide families in need with Christmas Dinner.

The Red Hen Project has been part of this year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge, where every donation made through our page on BigGive.org was matched — doubling the impact on children in need in Cambridge.

For those already struggling with low income, the pressure to make the season special can make things even harder.  Parents want to give their children a day of joy, but it often comes at a high cost.

That’s why our Christmas Appeal is so important. It helps us provide Christmas dinner boxes but crucially the essential wrap-around support, like one-on-one sessions and our drop-in groups to support children and their families beyond Christmas. Matched donations make a real difference, helping children enjoy a brighter, more secure holiday season.

Your support truly changes lives. As one parent shared, ” Thank you SO much. This couldn’t have come at a better time. I have been working extra shifts to try and save a bit but with Mum going into hospital that all had to stop. I can’t believe it, thank you so much.”

Together, we can bring a brighter Christmas to children who need it most.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Thank you for being part of our Red Hen family. Your support means everything to us and the children we support.
