Let’s make Christmas Special for All
At Christmas time, we often use words like ‘home’ and ‘family’. Many will gather to celebrate and be together. But for many people today, such connection and security feels out of reach, and comfort feels far away.
Please support the work of St James’s, and help us help others who won’t expect to experience love and joy in this festive season. Your donation, whatever you can afford, will help to bring hope into the lives of others this Christmas.
