Our Bristol Live and Bristol Post teams have smashed their target to raise funds for children at risk of hunger over the Christmas period. In collaboration with BusinessLive they have now raised £34,000. Businesses across Bristol pledged thousands of pounds in donations to Break Free - an initiative run by social enterprise Community of Purpose CIC. The money raised will ensure hundreds of young people can celebrate the festive season with a day of fun and a Christmas lunch. Bristol Live’s Business Editor, Hannah Baker, who led the campaign, said: “It’s wonderful news. Thank you to all the businesses and generous individuals who have donated. Every child deserves to enjoy the magic of Christmas and thanks to your kindness, that will now be possible for many more young people this winter.” Link to the donation page is in the comments below. #bristol #bristollive #bristolpost #charitycampaign #christmascampaign https://lnkd.in/dJusDniq

This Christmas, our titles are supporting many charity campaigns to help and support communities and those in need, as they do every year. At WalesOnline, the team has once again teamed up with charity Canolfan Pentre for their Christmas appeal, to help families struggling with the financial strain to give their children presents. Last year, thanks to the campaigning from WalesOnline, the charity was able to give out more than 800 toys, books and toiletries to children who would otherwise have gone without. This year the campaign aims to be bigger than ever and, as the staff at the centre warn they face an even bigger demand, WalesOnline has launched an Amazon wishlist.
