Each festive season, we organise gifts to be donated and delivered to our supported families but this year, our appeal looks a little different. Our referrals have rocketed by 25% and we urgently need to raise funds to support families across Wales. We’re all facing a harsher winter, with household living expenses escalating month on month - 20% of Welsh households struggle to afford sufficient and nutritious food, 45% of households are expected to be in fuel poverty this winter and 31% of Welsh children are living in poverty. Your donations can make THE difference.

Situation
Last year, we were able to support 2000 children and 1250 families across Wales - in 2025, we hope to be able to help even more families, but we need your help. Most of our supported families are finding the cost of living, their mental health, and loneliness to be the main challenges and our team are equipped and successfully supporting many families to overcome this. Unfortunately, we cannot keep up with the increasing demand – and we will have to turn families away. With your donation, we hope to be able to increase our support team and ensure no family suffers alone.
