Dear Kizzi,
As the nights draw in I am already looking forward to spending Christmas with my family. Yet with all the excitement of the festive season, it’s important to remember that Christmas can be a particularly difficult time of year for vulnerable families in East Sussex, and across the UK.
I am writing to you to encourage readers to visit the HomeSense store at The Quadrant in Brighton, where they can write a festive message or their happiest childhood Christmas memory on a bauble before hanging it on the HomeSense Christmas tree in return for a donation to charity.
All proceeds from the bauble donations will go to Action for Children’s Streetmate – a Haywards Heath based project that supports vulnerable young people experiencing difficulties in life.
Last year HomeSense raised over £75,000 for Action for Children, a wonderful charity that supports the most vulnerable children, young people and families across the UK. With your readers’ support we can make this year’s Hang a Bauble campaign bigger and better than before, helping even more children, young people and families at this special time of year.
Yours sincerely,
Jessica Hynes
