Your donation could give a child a place at HAF: a safe, supportive space during the school holidays where they can experience warmth, stability, and the meals they may struggle to access at home. For many children, school holidays are not a break; they are long stretches of uncertainty, isolation, and hunger. A place at HAF changes that completely.

HAF provides children with nourishing food, trusted adults, positive activities, and the chance to feel included and cared for. It replaces empty days with structure, friendship, and moments of joy. It gives children a place where they feel safe, valued, and able to be themselves.

Your support helps a child experience school holidays with dignity, confidence, and hope, instead of worry.

Your donation could give a young person at Brian Jackson College the chance to start their day with a nutritious breakfast; something many simply don’t have access to during difficult times at home. A meal in the morning offers stability, comfort, and the reassurance that someone is looking out for them.

Breakfast becomes a moment of calm that helps students settle, focus, and feel ready to learn. It’s a small act of care that carries enormous impact: improved wellbeing, better engagement, and a sense of being supported by a community that believes in their future.

Your support helps a young person begin their day with strength, dignity, and the confidence to thrive.

Your donation could place a new gift into the hands of a child or young person who may not receive one otherwise; for their birthday or at Christmas. These gifts bring joy, dignity, and a powerful sense of being valued at moments when families are struggling.

For many parents, financial pressures mean celebrations are quietly skipped. A donated gift becomes a spark of happiness: a child feeling seen, a parent feeling supported, a home filled with excitement instead of worry. Teenage gifts are especially treasured, as they are often the hardest to source.

Your kindness helps create memories that lift spirits, strengthen confidence, and remind children they matter.

Your donation could help us provide nourishing food, including breakfast, for children and parents who attend our free Stay & Play sessions, a lifeline for families who are facing daily hardship. Many parents arrive having skipped meals so their children can eat, quietly carrying the weight of choosing between their own needs and their child’s.

Providing breakfast at Stay & Play offers more than food. It offers relief, dignity, and a moment of comfort for parents who rarely get to put themselves first. It helps children settle, helps parents feel supported, and transforms each session into a warm, welcoming space where families can breathe, connect, and grow together.

Your support helps families experience stability, kindness, and the nourishment they need to face the day with strength.

Your donation could give a child the chance to take part in Safety Rangers, a transformative programme that teaches essential safety skills in a supportive, empowering environment. Children learn how to stay safe, make confident choices, and navigate real-world situations with resilience.

For many children, Safety Rangers is the first time they feel truly equipped to protect themselves. It builds confidence, independence, and a sense of control over their own wellbeing, skills that stay with them for life.

Your support helps children grow into safer, stronger, more self-assured young people

Your donation could help us create comfortable, natural spaces where children and parents can spend Family Time together; moments that strengthen relationships, rebuild trust, and help families feel safe and supported. For many families, these sessions are one of the few opportunities to connect in a calm, positive environment away from stress, worry, or instability.

Your support allows us to provide warm, welcoming rooms that feel homely rather than clinical; toys and resources that help children relax and express themselves; and activities that make time together feel meaningful and special. These small details make a profound difference, helping children feel secure, helping parents feel confident, and helping families rediscover joy in being together.

Your kindness helps families grow, reconnect, and move forward with hope and stability.
