Help a child this Christmas.
This Christmas, more children than ever are facing the holiday season without a loved one. Normally, we are able to provide gifts through Cash for Kids, but this year, the demand has been unprecedented and we are unable to receive gifts in the usual way.
To ensure no bereaved child misses out on a little joy this Christmas, we have launched our own Christmas Appeal. Through this appeal, we hope to bring comfort, smiles, and a sense of celebration to children who are grieving.

What we need
We support children of all ages and genders, so any new, unwrapped gifts will be gratefully received.
We particularly notice fewer donations for babies and toddlers as well as older male teenagers.
Gifts could include toys, books, games, arts and crafts, or other items that bring comfort and joy.
Your support can make a real difference. By donating, you are helping us provide:
Gifts for bereaved children, tailored to age and interest.
Support packages, including items that bring comfort and joy.
Moments of happiness during what can be a very difficult time of year.
Every contribution, big or small, helps us reach more children and families in need. Together, we can ensure that no child feels alone this Christmas.
