The Foundation 92 launches ‘December to Remember’ support campaign

Salford charity Foundation 92 is launching its 2023 December to Remember holiday campaign to support the community across Greater Manchester.

The charity will deliver free to access activities over the festive period and a Christmas present drop with Foundation 92 co-founders and partners, along with Salford City FC players.

Foundation 92 is aiming to deliver more than 1,700 presents during the week leading up to Christmas Day, supporting the most at need in the community as part of the F92 December to Remember campaign.

Help needed

But the Foundation needs some support from the local community to spread the Christmas cheer.

Drop off points across Salford and Greater Manchester have been set up for gift donations.

Presents could include books, arts and crafts, chocolates, toys, or anything that can bring a smile to a member of the community this Christmas.

Donations will be accepted from November 27 until December 8.
