🎄 10 Sleeps until Christmas! 🎄
We recently supported Birmingham Christmas Shelter with a Cost-of-Living grant, via Asda Perry Barr.
Across five days of the festive period, when most local support organisations are closed, Birmingham Christmas Shelter, remain open 24/7 to provide warmth, love and a bit of fun to those who need it most. 🌟
Run entirely by volunteers, they offer hot food, accommodation, entertainment, clothing, compassion and kindness to the most vulnerable people in Birmingham.
Volunteer, Jane, said, “The guests themselves really appreciate coming together, and over Christmas time we’re like another family; we share together, we have food together and we have entertainment together.” 💝
The funding they received will be used to provide hot food and drinks for those staying at the shelter this Christmas. . 🍽️ ☕
Bella, Community and Customer Champion at Asda Perry Barr store will be volunteering for this group on December 23rd and 26th. When asked about the impact of Asda Foundations funding and what it means to the group, Bella said, “People are welcomed to a safe, warm space and made to feel that they matter, which is the most important part of this project. We’re so proud that we’ve been able to help and I can’t wait to get involved, I’m really excited!” ☃️
