12 Days of Christmas Community Giving


This festive season our team here at Midland Lead will be making a difference to 12 local charities by donating gifts and money for their Christmas campaigns.

It’s incredible what charities achieve throughout the year and their work is so important and touches many lives, we are so proud of the endless hours they dedicate to others. We wish every single person who rely on these small charities warm wishes this Christmas. The team here at Midland Lead would also like to extend our heartfelt thank you to all those who volunteer and dedicate their time to these charities.

Here is a roundup of the amazing charities that we will be helping over 12 days in December to support the valuable and tireless work at Christmas and throughout the year.

Day One

1 donation for 1-2-1 intensive support at Safe & Sound. Safe and Sound support children, young people and families affected by all forms of exploitation, largely sexual and criminal exploitation, but including arranged marriage, trafficking, gangs and county lines. Their vital work ensures that individuals receive the support they need to move forwards in their lives. For details click here
