Thank You: Christmas Gift Donations 2024

/ haznix

We’ve once again been overwhelmed by the incredible support and generosity shown by our amazing community and network, who have donated hundreds of gifts to SASS for us to distribute to local men, women and children at our end of year Christmas party.

This year, Hay Brecon and Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees (HBTSR) had to bring all their donations in a horsebox! We are so grateful to the generosity and kindness from everyone who has donated. Thank you.

Message reads “Dear friend, It must have been difficult leaving friends and family. I hope you make yourself at home.”

Donated gifts were given out to all our attendees at our last Friday and Saturday drop-in this year, with 177 adults and just under 93 children attending on the Friday. These donations really do make such a difference. We could not hold such an event without support of our wonderful SASS network!

Thank you to all those who make SASS stronger every year! Our drop-ins will be back open as normal from Friday 3rd January. Please use our calendar to keep up to date.

Merry Christmas, from everyone at SASS.
