29 November 2024

The holiday season is a time of joy for many, but it can also be a source of stress and financial pressure. Did you know that in December, the average person spends £740 more than usual on gifts, food, and celebrations? Plus, 88% of people feel pressured to be cheerful, even if they’re struggling, and 84% experience a decline in their mental health and wellbeing.

If you’re feeling the weight of financial strain or mental health challenges, know you’re not alone. The Lighthouse Charity is here to support you. Reach out for free, confidential help this holiday season.
