Snowflakes of Mercy Winter Challenge

❄️ Join the Snowflakes of Mercy Winter Challenge

🧣 Help Create a Blanket of Relief Across the UK

This winter, Embrace invites you to take part in the Snowflakes of Mercy Challenge – a national movement to raise £145,000 to help 478 vulnerable families facing poverty, isolation and trauma across the UK survive the coldest, hardest season of the year.

We’re standing with:

• Families torn apart by imprisonment and anti-terror legislation
• Asylum seekers living on just £9 a week after fleeing from Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Sudan and other war-torn countries
• Refugee families facing their first winter in the UK on the edge of homelessness
• Single mothers and widows struggling to keep their children warm
• Survivors of abuse trying to rebuild their lives in safety

These are not strangers.
They are our neighbours in need.
And together, we can bring them warmth, dignity, and relief this winter.

🥶 The Crisis We’re Facing

For thousands across the UK, winter doesn’t just bring cold – it brings crisis.

• 1 in 3 households will face fuel poverty this winter
• Over 2 million children will sleep in cold bedrooms
• Hundreds of single mothers and widows will go without heat to feed their children
• Asylum seekers and refugees will endure the cold with almost nothing
• Survivors of abuse will struggle to start anew in bare, freezing flats

This is happening here – in our communities, on our streets, behind our neighbours’ doors.

Can you spare just 5 minutes a week this Winter to bring relief?

🌨 Be a Snowflake of Mercy

When snowflakes gather, they form a soft, protective blanket – one that shields even the hardest ground.
That’s what this campaign is about.

Each fundraiser becomes a Snowflake of Mercy, joining others to create a Blanket of Relief – a wave of compassion that spreads warmth and hope to those who need it most.

💷 How It Works

1. Set Your Fundraising Goal
   Choose your personal target and take on the challenge:
   • £300 – Less than a coffee a day for 90 days – provides Winter clothing for 3 people
   • £450 – Just £5 a day to keep one home warm this winter.
2. Raise Funds & Awareness
   Share your challenge. Inspire others to give, to care, to act.
3. See the Impact
   Together, we’ll reach £145,000, helping 478 families stay safe, nourished and warm this winter.

📦 What Your Efforts Provide

• £25 – Blankets of Relief: Thick bedding for a family in need
• £100 – Winter Clothing: Coats, gloves, thermals for warmth
• £250 – Food Staples: Nutritious essentials for struggling families
• £400 – Warm Homes: Energy support for freezing households
• £750 – Shelter a Family: For those at risk of homelessness

💙 Why Take Part?

Because no snowflake falls alone.
Every person who joins helps wrap warmth around a broken home.
Every challenge completed helps lift a family from despair to dignity.

Your compassion will help:

• A prisoner’s family who does not have to fall into debt
• An asylum seeker who finally experiences warmth and dignity
• A single mother who can finally heat her home without worrying about her children going hungry
• A widow who no longer fears another freezing night
• A survivor of abuse who can rebuild her life in safety
• A refugee who feels warmth – perhaps for the first time in years
  

💙 Thanks to Volunteers Like You

Because of the incredible compassion and effort of fundraisers and volunteers like you, Embrace has already raised and distributed over £22,000 in vouchers for warm clothing and bedding – reaching 69 families across the UK so far.

Here’s what some of the families had to say:

“Masha’Allah, I cried from happiness. You have no idea how happy I am. May Allah reward you for everything you (are) doing for people.”

“I don’t know how to thank you. You appeared at a moment when I felt that everyone had abandoned me… You gave me a voucher to buy food and saved me from hunger, warm clothes that protected me from the cold, and even a voucher for bedding that helped me so much at a time when I desperately needed anything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a light in a moment when I was living in utter darkness. I will never forget what you did for me. Your kindness saved me – not just physically, but emotionally as well. You reminded me that there are still people with compassionate hearts, people who see me and care about me. You didn’t just help me – you saved me.”

Every snowflake – every act of mercy – matters.

Together, we are already making a difference.

Now, let’s go further.
