We are spreading Christmas kindness with a donation to Pathway Project

We have donated £1000 to Pathway Project, a charity supporting survivors of domestic abuse in Lichfield and Burntwood, as part of our Christmas Kindness campaign.  

The donation will help provide gifts, festive food and essentials for women and children living in the charity’s refuges over the Christmas period.  

Pathway Project offers a wide range of support services, including safe accommodation, emotional support and outreach for those affected by domestic abuse.  The festive season can be particularly difficult for families in crisis, and this donation aims to bring a little joy and relief during what can be an incredibly challenging time.  

Djemillah Mourade Peerbux, Fundraising and Awareness Manager at Pathway Project said: “Christmas can be an emotional and lonely time for many of the people we support, especially those in our refuges.  This generous donation from Platform will help us provide small comforts and special moments, from toys and gifts to festive food.  It’s a meaningful gesture that shows our community cares.”  

The donation was made as part of our wider Christmas Kindness campaign, which supports charities and community groups to help vulnerable people during the winter months.  Previous years have included donations to food banks, homelessness organisations and children’s charities across our operational areas.  

Tracey Silk, our Community Engagement Officer said: “We’re proud to support the Pathway Project and the life changing work it does every day.  Our Christmas Kindness campaign is all about recognising the small acts of kindness that can make a big difference, especially at this time of year.”  

We recently visited Pathway’s Lichfield base to present the donation and hear more about its vital work. The visit also helped strengthen links for ongoing support and collaboration.
