Thank you for supporting The Foxton
Your donations help us support people across Preston during the festive period. Every contribution makes a real difference.
How we’ve helped.
As a volunteer at the Foxton day centre, it opened my eyes to a lot of different aspects of the day to day running of the day centre and the help that was available.
I feel that the Foxton has a massive impact on people’s lives from what I have experienced over the last year and a half since we started delivering the art project in partnership with the Foxton.
The Foxton have been a life saver for me and my partner. They have helped us get back on our feet.
