Honeypot Christmas Appeal

We are delighted to announce that our Christmas Appeal – Light up a young carer’s life – was an amazing success! We smashed our original target of £200,000 and raised an absolutely amazing £315,000. We had a fantastic response with 289 individual donations. Our thanks go out to all of our donors and to the our generous match funding partner The Betty Messenger Charitable Foundation.

For many young carers Christmas can be a challenging time. While other children are enjoying the magic of the holidays, these incredible young people are busy caring for family members and often missing out on the joy and excitement of the festive season.  Your donation can make a huge difference to the young carers we support.

Every donation to our Christmas appeal was DOUBLED meaning twice the impact:

• £10 funds the postage and envelopes to send 4 young carers our Honeypot Winter Fun Book to keep them smiling over the festive season

• £50 funds all the food and treats for 3 young carers on their annual residential Respite Break

• £170 funds a special Honeypot Memory Making Day for a young carer - this is an extraordinarily special day out, like the Santa Experience our young carers enjoyed

• £250 funds a Wellbeing Grant for a young carer from a deprived background to buy life essential items to support them at home

• £488 funds a 3 day/2night residential Respite Break at Honeypot for a young carer

• £5,897 funds a full Respite Break for 12 young carers

Thank you to everyone for lighting up a young carer's Christmas!
