Feeding Families This Winter
“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
December 20th -
Thanks to the incredible generosity of some of our supporters, we’ve been busy delivering 75 Christmas hampers to families in East and West Leeds in the last few days. Each bag contains loads of festive goodies and family favourites. The dad of one family who told us that the cupboards were almost bare at home, said, “This has made Christmas for us. It’s brilliant.” Big thankyous go to Waitrose for their fantastic donation of loads of lovely fruit and Tesco’s for their amazing support in giving us access to their warehouse, delivering in one go (we had our own van!) and for contributing £100 of extra groceries.

We were thrilled and honoured to receive this prestigious award as part of HM The King’s Birthday Honours in November last year.
The Flourishing Families staff team is growing, and we're really excited to introduce to you our two newest team members!
