The season of giving is here. This Christmas, give a gift that gives back and support a vulnerable child
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas for children is magical. But some children in the UK will face something very different. A Christmas without toys, treats, or Christmas dinner – maybe no dinner at all.
We’re doing everything we can to change this. But we need your help.
If you're looking for a gift for a loved one, why not choose one that supports a vulnerable child?
Choose from our range of virtual gifts and dedicate it to a loved one. You'll receive a virtual or printable card (which you can personalise!). You can send this to them to let them know their gift is helping put the magic back into a child’s Christmas.
