December 17th -
We have just finished delivering Christmas presents to 75 children we know in the Bramley area of Leeds. These presents have been given to us by Sedulo Financial Consultants. Their Christmas Toy Appeal linked up sponsors (including the public, local companies and Sedulo team members) with 250 children in Manchester and Leeds.
Individual presents were bought, knowing the age and interests of each child and the main gift was then supplemented with other presents and a selection box to make up a sack for every child ready for when they wake up on Christmas morning. By the time the Sedulo team had finished being so wonderfully generous, around 2,000 presents had been provided to the 250 children.
We had the pleasure of meeting some of the Sedulo team at their Reverse Santa’s Grotto evening where children of team members gave Santa presents to give to others. It was utterly amazing and the kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness displayed was both moving and inspiring. Thank you so much Sedulo – you’ve made Christmas for lots of our children.
Earlier this month we had the privilege of hosting the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Member of Parliament for Leeds West and Pudsey, Rachel Reeves, at a showcase of the work we do to empower families.
“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
We were thrilled and honoured to receive this prestigious award as part of HM The King’s Birthday Honours in November last year.
