Here’s how you can help those in need over the festive season and beyond

- HELENA CARTWRIGHT

Many charities need extra help at this time of year, particularly in the wake of the pandemic. Whether you help feed the homeless, call an older person who’s facing Christmas alone or dress up as Santa’s helper at a hospice, there’s an opportunity for everyone.

Crisis at Christmas

For decades, Crisis has provided homeless people with hot meals, a safe place to sleep, company, and the support and advice they need to get back on their feet, especially during the festive season. There are plenty of ways you can help, with volunteering roles for doctors, musicians, cooks, good listeners and many more.
