Christmas Jumper Day-Newcastle&homeworking staff! - The Quilter Foundation

As part of the Virtual Christmas Jumper for Quilter staff on 15th December, we have set up our own Newcastle and homeworking staff page. All donations are welcome and below is some information as to how the money raised could support our Young Carers this year Christmas.

We had a fantastic response to the virtual Christmas Tree, that we thought we'd continue with this theme of virtual donations. Thanks for your support! ps, it's December, it's the weirdest year ever, feel free to wear your Christmas jumper everyday hohoho.....

This Christmas, more than ever, we want to give young carers a Christmas to remember. Young carers will continue to support loved ones who could not cope without their support. They will continue to feel the increased pressure of their caring responsibilities due to the on-going coronavirus pandemic. They will still be isolated from friends and family. As a young carer, imagine having no break, even on Christmas Day.

Your gift to a young carer this festive season can make a big difference, and help bring joy and comfort to a young carer at a time when they need it most.

- £10 Could provide a winter care package consisting of items such as hot chocolate, hand cream and bath salts, for a young carer to take care of themselves this festive season.

- £25 Could help put a Christmas meal on the table for a young carer whose family has been over-stretched financially this Christmas.

- £50 Could help a young carer keep their family warm and safe this Christmas, by purchasing clothes like a coat, hat, and gloves to see them through the winter.

- £100 Could provide some much needed 1:1 support from a support worker and counselling sessions for a young carer who is feeling stressed in the lead up to the festive period.
