For many, Christmas is a time of gifts however for some it is simply a time of year they are unable to afford. We want to make sure isolated individuals and families know that there are people that care by sharing the Christmas magic and sending out special Christmas Treat Bags! We are looking for donations to fill these bags! Let’s bring a smile and show kindness during these difficult times as part of #BrumTogether.
Please donate items for the Christmas Treatbags by Wednesday 16th of December.
