Foundation 92 launch #F92DecembertoRemember holiday campaign

Salford-based charity Foundation 92 launched their #F92DecembertoRemember holiday campaign on 8th December alongside several partners across the Greater Manchester Community. The charity will deliver 248 hours of holiday activities for the Greater Manchester community over the Christmas period as well as a Christmas present drop with support from Salford City Football Club and their Players.

Foundation 92 are aiming to deliver over 1,500 presents during the week leading up to Christmas Day, supporting the most vulnerable in the community #F92DecembertoRemember campaign.

With funding from The Department of Education the holiday activity clubs will be running from 20th -27th December in Salford, Luttle Hulton, Trafford, Bury and Hulme and will include an array of activities including arts, crafts, multi sports, music whilst providing hot meals for all those that attend to tackle the ‘holiday hunger’ issue facing millions of families.

The activity programme is aimed at 7-16-year olds in the most vulnerable areas of the region, supporting over 1,880 visits across the festive period.

“Following the success of previous Christmas campaigns we are really pleased to be able to support local communities again this year after what has been a very challenging past 18 months for everyone. […] It is fantastic to see so many businesses alongside the council working together to support local communities in Greater Manchester.”

Tom Hutton, Head of Foundation 92
