Help us to help others this winter and beyond
Christmas is a time that brings a lot of comfort, warmth and connection – but this isn’t the case for everyone. The colder months are very hard for a lot of people, particularly if they are in mental health crisis and are struggling to afford the essentials like heating and food.
At our Christmas concert we want to bring hope, light and community, and to raise funds to support people in crisis.
Your donation will go into our crisis fund, which helps people on their most difficult days. Find out more about our crisis fund.
