The Independent’s Christmas Appeal to help people on the breadline cope better with the cost of living crisis has passed the £3.2m mark, thanks to online public donations and an accumulation of off-line five-figure donations to our charity partner The Childhood Trust that together amount to over £100,000.
It means that today, the final day of our partnership with The Childhood Trust, we can announce that this specific alliance has raised £1.2m for our appeal, surpassing our initial goal of securing £1m to support children in poverty in London, following the initial £500,000 pledge from their founder Grant Gordon.
