Project Summary

Each year we run the Christmas Gift Appeal for children aged 0 – 16 yrs so that all children wake to find something underneath their tree. We also aim to provide our clients with a little something extra to be able to put on the Christmas table. A small ham, some sweets, Christmas puddings, even some Christmas crackers add to the cheer.

Project Outcomes

Everybody deserves to have a treat sometimes and especially when they are doing it extra tough. So many families and individuals are struggling in this current financial climate, the first things that get eliminated from a budget are the niceties. We aim to bring just a little of that back for Christmas.
