December 19th -
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!
Did you know that one in five children in the UK don't own their own book? The cost of living crisis is hitting families hard this Winter; particularly for families in the most deprived areas of Leeds where access to books is becoming even more limited.
We are really pleased to play a part in shaping the Leeds Food Strategy.
On the day that the new Prime Minister is announced, Flourishing Families was interviewed as part of BBC Breakfast’s feature on the cost of living crisis.
The cost of living crisis is hitting hard from every angle. Families are facing the impossible choice between putting food on the table and turning the heating on.
