On this day, while we cherish the moments we have with our loved ones, either in person or virtually, spare a thought for our fellow Brits who may need a little extra support. If you know of someone who is spending Christmas alone, give them a call, make a connection, reach out to make their day a little special. If you know of someone who may need support this season, let us know: https://bbsofca.org/get-help/ or make a donation to help future people in need.

The British Benevolent Society of California is a unique independent charity and social hub for Brits in the Western United States. As a community, we provide aid and relief to British citizens in times of dire need. The BBS is working tirelessly to support Brits with life-saving aid in times of greatest need.

This December we are reminded of the impact that every little gesture can bring to people in their darkest hour. The pandemic has changed how we, as a society, support British nationals who face hardship while living in and visiting the western United States. Your donation will not only allow us to lend aid to people who are in desperate need of help with repatriation, senior living assistance and aiding British citizens who are in the US legitimately, but may have trouble p...roving their legal status. It will allow us to also grow our fund that has helped British nationals who have been directly affected by Covid 19. GivingTuesday is a global initiative to encourage individuals to support non-profit groups and causes engaged in meaningful causes. We hope you consider supporting our 170-year mission to assist British-born subjects in distress or sickness. #GivingTuesday #helpingothers
