We all know Christmas can be a particularly hard time for people, finances can become more of an issue while anyone not able to spend the festivities with loved ones can feel especially vulnerable. In a bid to do our part to tackle that, we'll be spending the weekend of December 14 and 15 in Redditch town centre aiming to let people know that they're not alone this Christmas - there is plenty of support and advice out there.
We're asking organisations from across the borough to let us know what activities, services and support they have running over Christmas and New Year, we'll then be able to hand these details out to residents from 10am to 3pm on both days. There will also be representatives from some of the organisations on hand to talk to people about what support they can access.
How you can help:
- Let us know about a service you run or support you're providing for Redditch residents over Christmas.
- Volunteer to help (we're asking volunteers to give up just an hour of their time, but you can do more if you like!).
- Spread the word - if you know someone who might benefit from the event please let them know.
