Hope and Help This Christmas: Thank You for Your Support!

In December as we faced rising costs and soaring levels of demand, we launched our first ever emergency appeal, Hope Can't Wait this Christmas, and we are incredibly grateful for every single donation! Your kindness and generosity have provided much needed support to people living in our community facing hardship at Christmas time. 

We understand that this year has been tough for many, and we deeply appreciate those who were able to give, whether large or small. With the cost of running our Causeway Foodbank alone soaring to nearly £70,000, the need for assistance has been overwhelming. Thanks to you, we have been able to provide food, support, and encouragement to those who needed it most.

Your generosity is a reminder of the strength of community. We are incredibly grateful for the support from local families, businesses, schools, supermarkets, churches, and referral agencies. It’s this collective effort that helps continue our work supporting our community.

Our CEO Ricky shares: “Poverty isn’t just about money, it’s about life’s unexpected challenges. We are incredibly grateful for those who gave. Every donation no matter how small, has helped bring hope to someone on the North Coast this Christmas.”

Though another Christmas is over, the need for support continues throughout the year. If you’d like to get involved, please consider becoming a regular giver or maybe even volunteering to help us with our work supporting the community. 

For now though, from everyone at the Hope Centre, we want to say a massive thank you for support this Christmas. For more information or to donate, visit https://www.vineyardcompassion.co.uk/donate
