A Month of Sharing & Giving

 

As we enter December, we are celebrating what’s on for young people this festive season and sharing ways that you can support the youth sector in Westminster this month.

Introducing the Westminster Advent Calendar. Every day until 25th December, we’ll open a door to share with you a holiday programme, fundraising campaign or upcoming event from our amazing YWF community. There’s lots of ways to give a helping hand to young people this month, and in return a whole host of activities on offer in Westminster to celebrate the end of the year in style!

Got something you’d like to add to our calendar? We’d love to include activities from all our members. Please email Sam on sam@youngwestminster.com with more details.

Follow the campaign on social media using #WestminsterAdventCalendar.
