As we approach Christmas, our incredible staff and volunteers are taking to social media to share the moments that have brought us smiles throughout the year.

Want to help us keep smiling into 2025?
We’ve created a wishlist of products and services that will enable us to continue spreading happiness in our community. Every contribution helps us create more moments of joy!

£15 for a hat, scarf and gloves set to keep someone warm in the winter

£5 for coffee and cake when meeting with a woman during the day

We also have a specific Amazon wishlist for items for the women. Shop it here
