The statistics are shocking: one in three children are still living in severe poverty in Greater Manchester. This means there are children going to bed without a hot meal in a house without central heating. It also means that 150,000 children in our city will not have a present to open on Christmas Day.
As Christmas approaches, Key103’s Cash for Kids Mission Christmas campaign aims to brighten Christmas for these children by asking you to buy an extra present when doing your Christmas shopping.
We are asking for your help again this year. We are even more determined to help children in Greater Manchester and to ensure that as many of them as possible wake up to a present this Christmas. Please buy an unwrapped gift for a child aged 0-18 and donate it to our Mission Christmas appeal here in Manchester Cathedral, last day for drop off will be Wednesday 14 December.
