Charity Christmas gifts 2024: Our top picks
The season of giving is here. This Christmas, give a charity Christmas present 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 Christmas present for a loved one, why not choose one that supports a vulnerable child?
For a limited time only, Nationwide is doubling your donations - meaning you can spread the magic twice as far.
Between 19 November – 3 December, Nationwide will match your donations up to a total of £100,000, meaning every £1 you donate will be worth £2.

Choose from our range of virtual gifts that you can dedicate to a loved one. You'll receive a virtual or printable card (which you can personalise!). You can send this to your lucky recipient to let them know their gift is helping put the magic back into a child’s Christmas.

A Christmas present, £25
For some children, this Christmas will be like any other day. They’ll wake up to no lights, no tree and no presents. Your gift could give a child the joy of opening up a Christmas present where they’d otherwise miss out.
Family's household bills, £40/month
Your monthly donation could contribute to a family's household bills, including gas, electricity, phone and internet.
A bed and a warm duvet for a child, £150
Children across the UK are growing up without a bed of their own. A comfortable place to sleep could give them a decent night’s sleep and so much more.
