My Story

We are joining up with Caring Together this Christmas to spread cheer and goodwill to local carers, who deserve a gift to lift their spirits.

A carer is someone who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, and would not be able to cope without their support.

We know that Christmas can be an incredibly lonely time for many carers who are looking after someone they love who needs constant care. And, for many, Christmas is a time that is particularly affected by the demands of their caring role with festive activities made more difficult.

A carer was delighted to receive a Christmas cheer gift from us last year, she said, “I felt very emotional when I received my gift. I was feeling very down, and it was just what I needed.”

That’s why we have set up this fundraising page. We want to brighten carers days again by gifting them a Christmas cheer stocking full of goodies that will lift their spirits and make them feel special. That is why we are asking you to give your help and show your generosity.

Nicky Newton, Caring Together fundraising manager told us, “We help local carers of all ages in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Norfolk, with support, guidance and advice. We tailor our services to the needs of the carer making sure they receive the support they need when the need it.

“we are delighted to have the support of Maxine Lester Lettings and Property Management once again, as we have seen before how they and their supporters have shown their generosity.

"Your donation will help us bring a little sparkle to carers this Christmas through our Christmas cheer stockings and other support we can give carers.”
