Local Families Say Thank You
Axis Foundation supports families who were struggling at Christmas
An Axis’ employee applied to the Axis Foundation to support her neighbours at Christmas time. Many were facing loneliness as well as heat and fuel poverty.
And so the Axis Foundation agreed to award £1,000 which was shared between 27 struggling households.
Our donation paid for 17 Christmas dinners, three supermarket vouchers, two heated blankets, seven heated clothes airers and six toy vouchers.
The residents were visibly touched to receive these special gifts and were all very grateful, sending us cards, notes and messages.
“G says thank you very much for her heated blanket, she is very pleased with it. She was staying with us over Christmas as she has only just come out of hospital. She’s been using it a lot.”
“Thank you, you don’t know how much this means to me.”
“We used the voucher to buy D a pack of Fimo modelling clay. We are going to make each other Christmas ornaments for our tree as keepsakes.”
“Thank you for our Christmas dinner tickets. My neighbours J, C and I met up just after Christmas. We plan to do it on a regular basis, perhaps every three to four weeks. C especially enjoyed it as he doesn’t get out so much.”
