At the Daylight Centre, a little goes a long way.

Every donation we receive – no matter how big or small

- makes a difference to someone’s life.

 

£1 could provide four cups of tea. That’s four chances for someone to sit and chat, to have time to be listened to, and to find the support they need.

 

£10 could provide hot meals for five people, giving them the energy to get through the day.

 

£25 could provide one days worth of rent and heating for our hall, giving our users a space that is warm and welcoming.

 

£50 provides 2 hours of consultation with professionals who can real make a difference to lives.
