This Christmas, help ensure poverty doesn't define childhood.
For many families, Christmas brings impossible choices between heating, food and presents.
Christmas should be a time of excitement, wonder and belonging.
Yet for one in four children across Leeds, poverty is an everyday reality. In some communities, child poverty affects more than half of all children.
For many children, missing out isn't just about presents.
It's about missing opportunities to make friends, build confidence, try new experiences and create happy memories.
Together, we can help ensure poverty doesn't define childhood.

A gift can create a moment of happiness. But your support can also help children:

• Create happy memories
• Thrive beyond their circumstances
