We have shared Christmas kindness with Pathway Project donation

We have donated funds to Pathway Project to help bring some festive cheer to people affected by domestic abuse.

The donation, made through our Christmas Kindness initiative, will help the charity provide toys and food for the people it supports over the Christmas period.

Pathway Project provides specialist support to people affected by domestic abuse across Lichfield and Burntwood. Its services include safe accommodation, outreach and practical and emotional support to help people rebuild their lives.

Christmas can be a particularly difficult and emotional time for those experiencing domestic abuse or beginning again after leaving an unsafe situation. The donation will help Pathway Project offer some additional comfort and enjoyment during the festive season.

Sam Booth, Chief Executive Officer at Pathway Project said: "Christmas can be an especially difficult time for people affected by domestic abuse, so acts of kindness like this can mean a great deal.

"We are incredibly grateful to Platform Housing Group for its generous donation and continued support. The funds will help us provide toys and festive food for the people we work with, bringing some happiness at what can otherwise be a very challenging time."

Our Christmas Kindness initiative supports charities and community organisations helping people who may be facing hardship or difficult circumstances during the winter months.

Tracey Silk, our Community Engagement Officer said: "Pathway Project makes an enormous difference to people when they most need safety, practical help and compassion, and we are delighted to support its work again.

"Christmas Kindness is about helping local organisations create brighter moments for people who may be going through an incredibly difficult time. We hope this donation helps Pathway Project bring some comfort and festive joy to those it supports."
