Gifts

If you are looking for a gift to go with your card, take a look at the Rock Trust, one of NPC's homelessness charities. Examples of gifts include a supermarket trip and budgeting session for a young homeless person for £10, or a nappy pack for young parents for £12. Or on Barnado's website, for £10 you can buy a Christmas party for a young carer or spend £35 to buy them a one hour support session.
