Share the Gift of Christmas

As we come to the end of the year, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, supported and believed in us. Your kindness has meant so much during a time of financial insecurity.

This has been a challenging year for CLP. With sudden and severe funding cuts, combined with growing demand for all that we offer, there have been times when the future has felt uncertain — but your generosity has carried us through. Thanks to you, things are looking brighter. We’re not out of the woods yet, but we’re moving forward with renewed optimism because of our incredible community.

Every hour volunteered and every pound donated helps us to provide opportunities to learn new skills, improve our wellbeing and connect with one another. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than seeing members of the CLP family flourish and grow in confidence, no matter what direction that takes you in.

Whether it's work, volunteering, further learning or getting together to share your interests with like-minded people, it all helps to build a friendly and caring community that gives back. You are the heart of what we do, and we’re so grateful that you've stood shoulder-to-shoulder with CLP through these difficult times.

As Christmas approaches, we’re keeping everything crossed that we're on your Good List! If you haven't already, or you have a little more to spare, we would gratefully accept a Christmas gift — whether that’s a one-off donation or a monthly gift that helps us plan ahead with confidence.

Thank you for sharing the Gift of Christmas with us, and with everyone we support. CLP is for you and our local community.

Wishing you a very happy festive season. ❤️✨
