Poignant Christmas song shines a light on Leicestershire’s homeless

A Leicestershire Homeless Charity have released a poignant Christmas song, which shines a light on the plight of those without a home over the festive period.

The song ‘Are you lighting the way this Christmas’, has been written and performed by staff and residents from Falcon Support Services, a charity in Pinfold Gate, Loughborough.

The song has been released alongside “Festive Falcon” an annual campaign that aims to raise £20,000 to provide additional emergency beds and support over Christmas.


The song’s lyrics ask: ’Are you lighting the way this Christmas, for those who are stuck in the dark?’, and aims to shine a light on homelessness and rough sleeping.

It follows last year’s song “You shouldn’t be lonely this Christmas (we’re here for you)”, which secured thousands of views on Youtube.

This year, the team are hoping for similar success. 

Dep CEO Rachel Hall said: “I am so proud of the song; it really showcases the talent of our residents as well as sending an impactful message for Christmas, they have done a fantastic job”.
