This Christmas, we want to make sure as many children as possible wake up on Christmas morning with a present, no matter their circumstances!

Can you help?

All you need to do is buy an extra gift whilst Christmas shopping and drop it at one of our donation drop-off points.

This year we are also appealing for essential items:

• Toothpaste / toothbrush / mouthwash
• Body wash or shower gel
• Face and body soap
• Face / baby wipes
• Deodorant
• Combs / hairbrush
• Nail files / clippers
• Menstrual products
• Undergarments – underwear / socks

Everyone deserves a gift at Christmas.
