Within a 6 mile radius of our base, we estimate 40,000 children are living in poverty. This means impossible choices for struggling families between the essentials that their children need day to day, and Christmas presents to bring magic and joy to their children’s lives. During the following winter months, the choices get harder and budgets are stretched to try and keep the family warm and well.

We will provide a tailored bundle of toys and gifts to each child we support, to help make Christmas magical and alleviate the worry parents feel at being able to provide. Over the winter months we will provide essential items children need to keep them safe, healthy and able to thrive. Through running our year-round service supporting struggling families we know we can reach the most vulnerable families in our community where this kind of support will make the most difference.
