This Christmas, local youth homelessness charity Aberdeen Foyer is focused on creating opportunities for young people to overcome challenges and embrace their potential.
While the festive season is a time of joy for many, some young people in North-east Scotland face it without the basics needed to feel secure, confident, and hopeful.
Aberdeen Foyer’s Christmas campaign highlights the essential support they provide all year round, recognising everyone can support their mission of empowering young people to thrive. This year the charity is offering practical examples of ways in which their clients can benefit from community support to their appeal.
From toiletries that build confidence to winter jackets that bring warmth and mobility, every donation helps a young person take a step toward a brighter future. These gifts not only meet immediate needs but also foster a sense of possibility, connection, and hope that lasts well beyond the holiday season.
This year, Aberdeen Foyer invites businesses and individuals to be part of this life-changing mission. By sharing the magic of Christmas, the charity’s supporters can illuminate new pathways for young people to achieve their goals and create their own stories of strength and resilience. Aberdeen Foyer’s CEO Leona McDermid is excited for people to see their campaign video created by Foyer Design and also realise how they can support a young person at a critical time in their life;
”For many of us, Christmas is a time of warmth, joy, and abundance. But for some, it’s a stark reminder of what they don’t have. Our appeal aims to ensure that everyone we support can feel the magic of the season, with access to basic necessities like food, warmth, and connection. These essentials help create a foundation for confidence and hope, enabling people to focus on their aspirations.”
