Think Different at The Khaya Centre - December

In December, The Mindful Foundation visited Khaya Centre to spend time with the children, staff and community we work alongside throughout the year.

Celebrating the children

During our visit, we were able to provide Christmas gifts and games for 50 children aged 3–5, creating a space for play, laughter and connection during the festive period. For many of the children, this was a rare opportunity to receive a personal gift and a moment of joy that mattered.

Supporting the people who support others

Alongside this, we were proud to support the Khaya Centre’s wider team through a partnership with the Just Living Foundation. Through this collaboration, we helped ensure that around 80 Khaya Centre staff members received food packs to support them and their families over Christmas.

These staff members work year-round in demanding, emotionally complex environments. Providing practical support at a time of increased financial pressure was a small but meaningful way to recognise their dedication and care.
