Increasingly homes are finding it hard to keep up their energy bills with many in arrears and with expected increases in VAT and carbon tax set to include home fuels like coal and peat bircketes many families are at risk of fuel poverty.College bills are putting a strain on family budgets too. Wither its homes that are just above the threshold for grants or those those receiving grants for the first time and experiencing significant delays more and more families are coming to the SVP needing to tide them over.Then of course there's the pressures that come with Christmas and trying manage children's expectations. Families are put under increasing financial pressure on themselves. It can often take 5 to 6 months for families to get over the Christmas spend. This year we are relying on you more than ever as we expect to visit over 150,000 homes over the Winter months so we are expecting this Christmas to be a challenging time again for so many families around the country.
Choose a toy to the value you would like to donate and we'll make sure as many children as we can in your local area wakes up with a gift on Christmas morning.
What a great idea. This is something I'd definitely like to make a contribution towards. I can't stand the thought of a kid not waking up to a present on Christmas morning.How sad.
ReplyDeleteIts not nice thought alright but its more the pressure that families put themselves under to make sure that doesn't happen. By donating that can help relieve some of that financial pressure.
