Every year we give Christmas gifts to the families we are supporting. More and more we are working with families who need more than just toys, either due to the cost-of-living crisis they are struggling to buy the basics or because some children with additional needs are not interested in traditional toys.
Last year, thanks to local funding we were able to give bespoke gifts. Our gift bags were full of treats and hand delivered by our home-visiting volunteers.
We asked families what they needed, and we bought warm coats, socks, vests, sensory toys, books… the list goes on. Here’s an idea of your donation may be spent.
£2 could buy some warm gloves
£5 could buy a woolly hat
£7 could buy a fleecy blanket
£10 could buy a warm jumper
£15 could buy two pairs of warm PJs
£20 could buy a winter coat
