This Christmas, make a difference

Did you know that you can support the families we work with just by doing your Christmas shopping? We have partnered with online card company Silverstamp who are matching donations and offering you a special discount, and the online shopping app Give as you Live, which lets you shop with your favourite brands who donate a percentage of your purchase to us, at no extra cost to you. So what are you waiting for!

Here are the ways your Christmas shopping can make a difference to families like Sukhrani’s, pictured above. Your small change adds up and can lead to real change, helping Sukhrani access credit and training so she can start a small business, and begin to build a future free from poverty.

Silverstamp have a unique, varied and high quality selection of greeting cards, so whether you want to personalise a card or are looking for something different, visit their online shop and you will find it impossible to send another boring Christmas card. And, founder Per and his wife Celina have chosen to combine their passion for their business with their passion for helping others, by partnering with Find Your Feet, again this year.
