This Valentine's Day, treat your special someone with a gift that makes a difference.

Valentine's Day is the perfect opportunity to show your loved ones how much you care - whether its a spouse, a partner, or a friend. But rather than buying the usual flowers and chocolates this year, why not give a Valentine's Day gift that makes a difference?

By gifting a donation to Action for Children, you could make a huge difference to the lives of vulnerable children or families in need across the UK.

5 meaningful Valentine's Day gifts

1. A healthy breakfast for a child every day of the week

A £5 donation could buy a healthy breakfast every day of the week for a child who may otherwise go without. If you're planning a special Valentine's brunch for your loved one, why not gift a £5 donation alongside?

2. A teddy bear to comfort a child

A teddy bear is a classic Valentine's Day gift. But with a £7 donation, you could buy a teddy bear that will bring lasting comfort and joy to a child in need instead - a gift even more meaningful.

3. Books and toys for a child

A £15 donation this Valentine's Day could buy books and toys for a child whose family can't afford them. Books and toys are vital to support a child's learning and development. But they also make the perfect alternative gift - particularly for the bookworms in your life.
