Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat
Please to put a penny in the old man’s hat;
If you haven’t got a penny, a ha’penny will do,
If you haven’t got a ha’penny then God bless you!
This well known childrens rhyme reminds us that Christmas is a time to consider those less fortunate than ourselves. Simply stating to give to charity within our means, even if all you are able to do is offer your blessing.
C.R.I.B. Appeal 2010 is aiming to reach a target of £30,000.00.
Last year C.R.I.B. Appeal 2009 blessed the Charity with a staggering £26,000.00.
The Appeal donations enable BeCHaR to continue providing its services to our increasing visitors over the winter months and helps us provide a magical Christmas for those who would otherwise have no one and no where to go.
Remember crisis knows no bounderies and in lead up to Christmas and throughout the festive period individuals relie heavily on us being here for them. Offering them respect, compassion, friendship, support and festive cheer.
