Light up a Birmingham child’s Christmas – Bfriends Charity | Visufund
Your donations will help us make Christmas Day special for young care leavers who may otherwise be spending the day alone.
We will be hosting a meal and party on Christmas Day for young people and ensuring they have transport to and from the event. Your support will ensure we can give these young people a Christmas to remember.
Explains Pauline Harper-Manby, Fundraising Manager at Bfriends Charity:
“We want our care-experienced young people to have a fantastic Christmas experience, the same as those who will be celebrating with their own families. Every light represents hope and helps fund our annual Christmas Day meal and party, creating magical memories for care-experienced children, young adults, and their loved ones.”
“This heartfelt initiative invites you to make a donation that will turn on a bulb on a Virtual Christmas Tree, hosted on a bespoke website. As donations are received, our Tree will shine brighter!”
“We welcome all individual donations and for businesses there is an opportunity to make a large donation to light up part of, or the whole star at the top of the Bfriends Virtual Christmas Tree.”
