Batley law firm helps bring a smile to children's faces this festive season by supporting Cash For Kids' Mission Christmas Appeal
and live on Freeview channel 276
Cash For Kids (CFK) is a national charity set up to help some of the most vulnerable children and young people suffering from life-threatening illnesses, as well as poverty, abuse and neglect.
Its Mission Christmas Appeal this year aims to make sure every child in the country can get out of bed on the morning of Christmas Day to open a present - even if that young person's family is unable to afford a party in the home.

A Batley Law spokesperson said: "We are as usual always passionate at Batley Law to help improve people's quality of life opportunities whether it is through our immigration advice and legal advocacy work, or be it through our various different charitable fundraiser events.

"As a firm specialising in immigration and asylum support work, we can only too clearly understand the impact upon children's lives caused by poverty and social isolation.
"The hard-hitting reality is most of these youngsters are living in low-income households regardless of their skin colour or immigration status.
"They do not enjoy the quality of life or the nurturing childhood they so rightly deserve. Some even experience trauma at a young age and end up getting taken into care.

"So, it was a pleasure this year for Batley Law to team up with a prestigious charitable initiative like Cash For Kids and to spread some festive joy for those who are the poorest and most vulnerable in our society."
