In relation to the identified priorities in the Guidance & Essential criteria what will your idea achieve and who will benefit from your project?
The Night Before Christmas Campaign is a local registered charity which helps local children and vulnerable adults at Christmas and throughout the year who are living in poverty. Due to the cost of living crisis there are a growing number of families who struggle at Christmas.
Christmas 2024 we helped 8072 children and vulnerable adults to bring some magic to them at Christmas. We provide red bags full of joy which consist of Pyjama's, stationary, underwear, a toy or game and chocolate.
Please describe what you plan to do and what the money will be used for? (i.e., purchase equipment/resources)
We rely soleley on donations and fundraising and over the past few years we have struggled with providing fred bags for older children. We often put games into these bags as this is something which older children enjoy but we find that we dont have as many donations of these as we would like. The funding would be to purchase as many boardgames as possible and our team of volunteers would then be able to use these for the bags for older children.
