Christmas is a special time of the year. At no other time are children exposed to so many pictures of happy families and gift-laden homes.Yet for many children, such images are merely a pipe dream, owing to poverty, family breakdown and illness. For them, Christmas is simply another day devoid of the joy and warmth that the rest of us take for granted.
On Christmas Eve this year, ‘With Kids', is staging an alternative Christmas for children and their families in Glasgow’s East End. These are families who may otherwise struggle to provide any sort of Christmas for their children.
We want to provide a special day that will include games, a festive dinner and presents from Santa.We also want to ensure that these families all have sufficient clothing, heat, food and support over the period so that they can experience something of the joy that Christmas brings to the rest of us.
We are in desperate need of donations and support to enable this to happen.
£5.00 provides a goody bag at our christmas party
£10.00 pays for lunch for four at our christmas party
£20.00 fills a christmas stocking
£30.00 provides food for a family of four or winter clothing
We recognise that every donation is an extrordinary act, but it would allow these children and their families simply to enjoy a normal Christmas.
For info on how to donate, whether it be gifts, money or time then please email info@withkids.org.uk
