We made this record because we love it. We don’t need money from it. But there are lots of people who do. That’s why we’ve made it, ‘give what you like’.

All monies raised from Christmas is for Life will go to Southampton Action For Employment (SAFE). SAFE started in 1994, reaching out to people in South Hampshire facing need as a result of high unemployment and recession. Sound familiar?
The programme boasts a 75% progression rate into further learning or employment - an incredible achievement when you take into account the fact that SAFE are working with the hardest to reach, most excluded people - most of which suffer from chronic low self esteem, isolation and lack of motivation.
SAFE's work is so worth supporting because they are not just helping out people who are already in trouble, but empowering them to achieve their full potential. So, in years to come, they will no longer need help, but be helping society themselves!
I have been on 2 SAFE courses myself, as a participant and a trainer, and I've not only seen them sparking others into life, but they've been life changing for me. So please give generously - your money really will be buying something for life, not just for Christmas.
SAFE’s Choices course is delivered by local churches as well as voluntary organisations. This started in Southampton but is now spreading more widely in the UK. For more information visit http://www.safe.org.uk/ and do contact them if you’d like to get involved or see this sort of programme running in your local area.
