🚨 We REALLY need your help this year…🎄
Every Christmas, thanks to your generosity, we’ve helped give hundreds of warm Christmas meals to people in need right here in our local community. ❤️
Since last Christmas, Facebook has drastically reduced how many people see posts that contain 'external links' — and using an external link on a post is how we mainly do the fundraising. 😞
That means fewer people who are able to donate this Christmas are far less likely to even see this post… and fewer warm meals might be bought to those in need.
This has been true with posts we have put out this Christmas which would usually go viral have been seen by only a tiny amount of people which directly results in us being able to fundraise for the amounts needed...
So we’re asking for your help — not just with donations (if you’re in a position to donate) but by simply sharing this post to help it reach more people across the North East who are in a position to donate.
It’s only £5 to provide a warm Christmas meal for someone in need this festive season.
Please help if you can, share below to help really spread the word and counteract Facebook's new external linking pushdown on our posts❤️

💼 We Need Local Businesses to Get Involved!
Is your business fundraising or donating this Christmas? Join us in supporting this vital local cause.
Any business who is fundraising and raising £149+ we will give you a shout out to our huge North East following...
🎅 Get creative! Organise a Christmas jumper day, a staff fundraiser, or any fun festive idea to raise money and spread kindness this Christmas.
👉 Instead of paying large corporations for advertising, why not make a donation to the Homeless Christmas Meal Appeal and get your business promoted as a thank-you — all while supporting local people in need.
Together, we can make this Christmas warmer, kinder, and full of hope for those who need it most. ❤️
