Annual Christmas Eve Street Collection

19 December 2014

This year is our 125th Anniversary; therefore we want our Christmas Eve Street Collection to be even more successful than previous years.

Our team of volunteers and staff contribute their time in order to raise funds for 'those who need it most'. It is a great event to be a part of and involves working alongside a friendly, generous and caring team.

This then makes a huge difference in the lives of families who are in need.
