The services we offer would simply not exist without the kindness and support of local people and local businesses. Those who wish to share Christmas with us do not need a referral and can just turn up any time of the day or night while we are open, bringing their dogs if they wish They will receive a warm welcome but must agree to keep to our rules of behaviour that ensure it is a happy, safe place for all.
We do receive excellent support from many commercial catering equipment, food and grocery suppliers, Birmingham City Council's Commercial Waste Department, hygiene suppliers, individuals and local businesses to our call for donations in cash or goods. Nothing is wasted and leftover items are either passed onto other local charities or kept for our fundraising activities.
Our guests are always grateful for the kindness shown to them by the people of Birmingham over Christmas when many of the services they rely on all year, take a well deserved break and shut down. They know that some of them would not survive the winter months ahead without your generosity that builds up their health and resilience.
Assisting local people who have fallen on hard times, makes us an attractive option for local people to adopt as their charity to support. This website gives details of how you can make a contribution.
