Christmas (as with each year) we are arranging our mobile grotto Santa visits to the homes of our nominated families who struggle to travel, even to a local grotto, we are bringing Santa his Elves, a mystery special guest mascot and hopefully some magical gifts to them. As a very small charity we do struggle for support but have been asked to visit double the amount of families this year from last, and we are going to do it! #Santadrop24
One of items on our agenda is to purchase a lodge for our families to enjoy some well deserved respite or holiday memories.
We have located a number of places within close proximity of our support areas and found it to be firstly quite expensive and secondly on a yearly basis we would have to have a funding campaign to ensure smiling Families Charity can offer the resource for a long time.
So our families have had a get together and thought of a way we ‘could’ be able to make this dream a reality.
‘Donate a Fiver’ campaign through social media resources we are trying to reach as many people as possible!
If we can reach 20,000 donators at £5.00 once charges for the platform we use have been paid this will enable us to purchase the adapted home/lodge running cost for five years in which time we should be able to secure more funding to run this for many years for our terminally ill families, children with multi disabilities and families with life changing illnesses.
