We warmly welcome today’s ending of the 2-child limit. This will lift 350,000 children out of poverty immediately & ease hardship for many families we support. A big step forward, but not the end: caritassalford.org.uk/two-child-bene…

On a day when the impact of our work is highlighted in parliament, your support can go twice as far. It’s #DoubleDonationTuesday at Caritas Salford — every £ donated is matched: lnkd.in/e3By-i2v Winter is toughest for those we support. Thank you for helping us keep going

Grateful to Afzal Khan MP for highlighting Caritas Salford work in Parliament during yesterday’s debate on homelessness funding. Demand for our services is +19% this year; long-term funding is essential so we can continue supporting people with dignity. tinyurl.com/2ya292nu

What is really important at this time of year is to be safe and feel loved. Thank you to a person who is accessing Caritas' services for sharing their very personal Advent thought for the day.

As the year ends, we'd like to say thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey in 2025 - and beyond too. We couldn't continue to support thousands of local people without you. Thank you so much for being there to help at times of crisis, and for the long-term too.❤️
