Christmas is a time for opening doors – to family, loved ones and to worship.
Yet for many people living with disabilities, those doors of celebration and community can remain closed. This Christmas, with your help, we can change that.
At Shaftesbury, we are committed to opening the door to faith for the people we support – people like Mandy.
Mandy lives at Shaftesbury Ashley Place in Bognor Regis. As a lady of strong faith, attending church is very important to her. She sees her church community as her family.
'It makes me more happy when I go to church,' she says.
Barriers to transport mean getting to church can be a problem, so our staff are supporting Mandy to find a solution.
With your support, we can ensure people we support, like Mandy, can take their place in church life.
Shaftesbury is the disability charity that enables each child, young person and adult to live a life that adds up for them.
