News > Goals supporting Cyrenians

Despite the continued cost-of-living crisis we were truly amazed by the generosity of the general public who kindly gave donations for our Christmas Appeal 2025 as well as everything we received from Churches, Schools, Companies, Shops, Statutory Organisations, Voluntary Groups & Charities and kind hearted members of the public. We raised at total of £10,877.94 for Cyrenians and received donations of food, toiletries, socks, hats, gloves, chocolate etc. We were able to provide Christmas gift bags for up to 200 Service Users.

Financial donations also go towards rising utility costs for our accommodation for the homeless and the Winter Appeal will continue until 31st March 2026:
