Doodledo teams up with Salford charity to help the homeless this Christmas

Patrick O’Dowd, director of Caritas Salford, said: ““It’s outrageous that in 2022 so many people are facing the prospect of acute crisis. Christmas should be a time for family, friends and loved ones, but any of us could find ourselves in a situation we’d never imagined could happen.

“The animation shows this clearly – forced evictions, having to choose between eating or staying warm, facing a Christmas alone, or sleeping rough will be the reality for thousands of people in Greater Manchester and Lancashire this festive season. We’re hoping people who are in a position to be able to help will support the appeal so we can be there to help those who need us transform their lives with dignity.”

The charity runs a range of services supporting people from local communities who are isolated, disadvantaged or experiencing poverty and homelessness.

James Torry, founder of Doodledo, added: “We were honoured to support Caritas with their Christmas film. They gave us creative freedom to tell the story and we’re now just calling on everyone to BeeThere and donate if they possibly can!”
