Radio 4 Christmas Appeal: Making A Difference

For more than 90 years BBC Radio has partnered with the Church of St Martin-in-the-Fields for a Christmas Appeal to raise money for their work with homeless people all round the country.

This year the Radio 4 Christmas Appeal has as its theme Small Action, Big Difference, to acknowledge the precious thoughtful actions made particularly by housing support workers on behalf of their clients: providing a few personal bits and pieces when they move into their own accommodation, a phone call to make sure they pay their bills in time, a joke when they are low.

In Making a Difference Aasmah Mir reports on some of the lives that have been changed by your donations: among them Kerry-Jo, who, after the end of a relationship and a breakdown which led to homelessness, has moved into a lovely flat in Rotherham where she is being helped by her housing support worker Sam to "stand on her own two feet".
