Hull and Beyond…running towards the future
This year we’ve begun exciting plans to help transform futures and change lives in Hull, one of the most disadvantaged cities in the UK, where 33.4% of children live in relative poverty.

This week the Flourishing Families team had the wonderful task of distributing around over 40 big sackfuls of presents to families in some of the schools we work with.
The presents in each bag had been individually chosen and wrapped by clients and staff of Sedulo Financial Consultants.
Thank you Sedulo for all your hard work in sourcing and matching sponsors to these families in your incredible ‘Reverse Santa’s Grotto’ where the joy of Christmas becomes about giving and not receiving. There will be a lot of smiling faces next week!

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.
