Radio Hartlepool: LilyAnne's Coffee Bar supports Gifts for Christmas appeals across Hartlepool.

It's that time of the year again when we look forward to spending Christmas with our families and we are once again supporting the Radio Hartlepool gifts for Christmas appeals across Hartlepool.

2020 has been one of the toughest years for our community, as a community space that prides ourself on reducing social isolation and creating companionship it really has an impact the way we can support our community.

That's why we are joining the Radio Hartlepool Gifts for Christmas Appeal 2020. We've been stuck in the tiers since late September 2020 moving from tier 2 to a national lockdown and then up to tier 3.

We know it has been a tough year for our community and the families within it many have been furloughed and received 20% less of their wages, others who are self-employed haven't even taken a wage and some children's families are on low incomes will go without this Christmas,

We know it has been a tough year for our community and the families within it many have been furloughed and received 20% less of their wages, others who are self-employed haven't even taken a wage and some children whose families are on low incomes will go without this Christmas, e proud to have been part of from day one,

So we have once again supported behind the scenes across many of the town's Christmas Appeals. To ensure families in Hartlepool have a fantastic Christmas 2020.

By identifying members of the community who we know have had to cut back on the gifts this year, we've secretly nominated people to receive some extra gifts this year, but we've also manned the collection points and arranged the gifts into ages.

But 2020 has been a tough year, families have been furloughed and received 20% less of their wages, others who are self-employed haven't even taken a wage and some children whose families are on low incomes will go without this Christmas.

LilyAnne’s Wellbeing believes in working with all groups across Hartlepool within a supportive and caring way to ensure we can achieve more to support our community the best we can by working with the Hartlepool Christmas Tree Appeal, The Annexe & Radio Hartlpeool.
