A charity is hosting a music event to fund a project that helps families with the costs of Christmas.
The Greenaway Foundation provides families in Kent, Sussex and Surrey with ingredients for a two-course Christmas dinner to help with the costs of the festive season.
The organisation hosts a music festival, Greenaway Live, at Crawley Rugby Club from 15:00 BST on Saturday, with ticket sales helping fund its work for families struggling financially.
Darren Greenaway, who founded the charity, statedthe Christmas project was “getting bigger and bigger, so this year we need to raise about £200,000”.
As part of the charity’s festive work, children from low-income families can make a “make a wish for a Christmas present”, which the organisation delivers on Christmas Eve.
It expects to support over 1,000 families in 2026, and Greenway statedsome parents would “break down and cry when we turn up and make the delivery”.
The first Greenway Live was held in 2025. The second year of the event will be streamed on the charity’s social media.
“I was on my honeymoon trying to arrange it,” Greenway told the BBC.
“This year we statedwe’d try again and obviously it seems to be getting more and more traction, so we’ve all currentlystarted planning towards next year.”
He added: “All the live acts are donating their time for free, so it’s a mini Live Aid.”
