Warm Meal Appeal - Changing Lives - North East from £5.00

The Changing Lives Christmas Meal appeal has now finished but you can still donate to help with the work changing lives do in the North East all year round. 

For just £5 your donation will provide a warm dinner to someone less fortunate in our local community. 

Changing Lives began as a soup kitchen in 1970, and they are now a nationwide charity helping people facing the most challenging of circumstances make positive change - for good. Every year, Changing Lives support over 14,500 people to overcome the challenges they face and go on to live happy, independent, fulfilling lives. They support people who are experiencing homelessness, unemployment, in recovery or facing abuse or exploitation. Changing Lives know that given the right support, anyone can change their life for the better.

As rough sleeping increases by 27% in 2023, Changing Lives has seen an increase in people needing their support due to the cost-of-living crisis. The cost-of-living crisis has had a devastating impact on people with existing vulnerabilities, many of the people we support are already deeply affected by experiences of poverty and disadvantage.

This year more than ever, Changing Lives need help and support to enable their work to continue to provide longer-term, meaningful support to people in our community and therefore we have introduced an option as well as a one-off donation to make a small monthly donation to help support people who need it all year round.
