With the cost of living crisis, it’s hard to see the wood through the trees. School holidays can be such a stressful time, especially for families who already struggle to provide for young people.
Acts of kindness go such a long way, and being able to make a difference and help alleviate this stress is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
