John --

Merry Christmas - I'm writing to you today about our 2020 Christmas Appeal.

This is the time of year when normally we would look back on everything that's happened in the last 12 months, and for us that means looking back at the Coronavirus pandemic - seeing both how the far-right sought to take advantage of the global crisis, and how communities came together in spite of that.

While we've spent this year adapting to new challenges presented to us by Coronavirus - and I am so proud of the job we have done - our biggest challenge is having the money we need to do the work next year.

Over the course of the year we have lost more than £300,000 in expected income, and while our supporters across the country have been helping us to bridge that gap, we're not quite there yet.

That's why I'm emailing you today. As you buy the gifts you'll hand out on the 25th December, will you also donate to our Christmas Appeal to support the areas of our work that still have a funding gap?

GIFT: Support our Education Unit
GIFT: Support our Media Team
GIFT: Support our Disinformation Unit
GIFT: Support our 2021 Elections Team

For each of these areas we have produced a set of graphics - both digital and printable - that you can share on your own social media accounts, or can give to someone else as a Christmas present to let them know you've donated on their behalf. We will email them to you once your donation has gone through.

Help us to keep up the fight in 2021 by giving the gift of HOPE today.

Thank you.
