Christmas time to remember those less fortunate

Christmas is often described as a season of joy, but for many people it can be the saddest and loneliest time of the year.

In New South Wales, thousands of people will be homeless on Christmas day, and countless others face isolation, hunger and financial hardship.

This sadly includes increasing numbers of young people, women and those that have never needed assistance before.

At the PAYCE Foundation, we believe no one should feel forgotten at Christmas.

That is why we proudly partner with charities making a real difference on the frontline Vinnies, End Street Sleeping Collaboration, Sydney Street Choir, Thread Together and St Merkorious Charity.

These organisations provide food, clothing, support, connection and dignity to people who need it most.

Their work reminds us what the season is truly about: compassion and community.

If you are able, we encourage you to help these remarkable charities anyway you can so they can continue their vital work.
