Our annual Cookers for Christmas campaign comes during a time that should be filled with joy but as a result of the pandemic, many people have been left feeling stressed and anxious about what the coming months hold, especially the festive period.
This year has been particularly difficult for everyone and many people will be dreading Christmas approaching with many facing new financial challenges that they will never have experienced before. A cooker to make Christmas dinner with may now be a luxury that some people are unable to afford in the current climate. Our Cookers for Christmas campaign aims to help those who are struggling, by providing them with a cooker and other essential household white goods.
All donations help us to provide these essential items at such what should be a joyous time and we really appreciate your support. Any remaining funds from the campaign will be used to fund our essential starter packs to help those who have experienced poverty and homelessness across Edinburgh.
You can help to change not only a family's Christmas, but their lives.
A new tenancy is a first step, an opportunity, but it is only a beginning. By supporting our work, you can help someone who has been homeless change their life.
Even a small donation will make a big difference - £5 will buy pots and pans to cook a hot meal; £12 enables us to offer a cooking class for 4 people giving them the skills and confidence to cook healthy meals; and £20 buys electrical Packs with toasters, lamps and kettles that give warmth, light and comfort - the list goes on…
