Family Business United and Plan Insurance have launched a national campaign to help homeless and vulnerable people this Christmas.

We are launching this campaign now in order to maximise our efforts from now until Christmas to help the homeless and vulnerable at a time when others more fortunate are celebrating with their families. Every penny donated as part of our 2019 campaign will make a difference to young lives affected by homelessness in the UK.

Every penny really will make a difference so even if you can only spare the 'cost of a cuppa' that will help. All donations are truly appreciated and will go direct to the charity.

As well as raising money for such a great cause, and just £12 a month provides a hostel room for someone to stay in and get them off the streets and access to a vital support network, our team hop into the 'Santa Dash Van' for a week long series of family business visits on a route that starts in Plymouth and winds its way to London, collecting warm clothing, DVD's and CD's to help the vulnerable this year.

All of the warm clothing will be distributed in a direct campaign to help those on the streets and all of the DVD's and CD's collected will be converted to cash and donated via this Just Giving page directly to Centrepoint to help fund their fantastic work.

You can keep up to date with the wider campaign on social media using the hashtag #FamilyBizSantaDash.  If you want to get more involved then why not host a campaign and collect DVD's and CD's and send them in to us for the campaign, or convert them to cash and make the donation here.  Every penny really does help and it is a great way to bring our family business community together.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity.  So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for reading and getting involved!

Merry Christmas!
