Thanks to your kindness, Caritas Salford was able to support 5,000 families across our diocese this year*.  To see the difference that your generous support makes, please view the short film – #Loved – produced for this Advent, by visiting http://www.caritassalford.org.uk/advent-2021/

You’ve helped provide:

• A safe place to live for young parents and their infant child with 24/7 support
• Financial grants to families facing a crisis, illness or poverty
• 1:1 advice sessions with our trained staff for as long as it takes
• Food parcels and shopping vouchers
• Essential household items and toiletries
• School uniform, shoes and Christmas treats/presents
