Hackney Is Calling! As featured on BBC The Hackney Christmas Dinner is still taking referrals! There are 50 places for Care Leavers aged 18-25 yrs. Contact us: [email protected].

We still have a few places for care experienced young people to join us on Christmas day. All transport and costs are covered. If you know any care experienced young people in Cardiff or the surrounding areas who will be on their own, please talk to them about coming along.

It really is a very special day! We would hate anyone to miss out when we still have space at the table.
