Care Leavers Matter Appeal 2026

Could your business help show care-experienced young people they matter this Christmas?

Local charity and Shaping Portsmouth Patron, Fair Ways, is calling on Portsmouth businesses to help create 200 festive wellbeing hampers for care-experienced young people.

Its annual Care Leavers Matter Appeal is bringing businesses, community groups and local people together to provide practical essentials, comfort items, festive treats, gifts, vouchers and experiences, delivered in time for Christmas.

There are lots of ways your business can get involved, from donating products and vouchers to making a financial contribution or connecting Fair Ways with suppliers who may be able to help at scale.

Every hamper carries a simple message: you matter and your community cares.
