Deloitte North West is proud to be fundraising for The Hive. A donation is greatly appreciated to help give back to The Hive this Christmas.

How your donations will make a difference:

- £10 could pay for a pair of Christmas pyjamas for one of our most vulnerable members

- £20 could cover the cost of a present for a young person they really want but their family can’t afford

- £31 could provide a hot meal for a child every day throughout December

- £100 could cover the cost of us giving a child a Year to Remember going into 2025. This covers the cost of an annual membership (£5), every session they attend throughout the year (50p) and a hot meal every single time they visit us.

We are seeing a sharp rise in our families not being able to afford even the basic membership fees so this will elevate the financial pressure on them and give the gift of opportunity to 10 of our most vulnerable young people. Going into winter, we provide a safe, warm space that for many children is their sanctuary so we know this will be appreciated more than ever.

On Thursday 12th of December we will be holding a Christmas jumper day. Colleagues are encouraged to wear a festive jumper and a suggested donation of £2 would be appreciated.

On Friday 20th of December we are running a prize draw in support of our North West charity partners. To enter all you have to do is guess how many baubles and snowballs are in the vase (see the image from the office wide email), and include your answer when you make your donation.

Note that Gift Aid can be claimed on regular donations and donations for the Christmas Jumper Day, but cannot be claimed on any raffle entry donations. This is due to gambling rules we need to follow.
