Christmas Appeal 2012

We know it's only October and that you don't want to hear the word but it's only 10 weeks till Christmas! And it's that time of the year where we need your help!

Christmas can be really tough financially for many families. Each year we help families that are struggling by providing presents, food hampers and credit towards utility bills who would otherwise go without.

Last year we provided 101 families with presents, food and credit for utility bills. Our Christmas party was attended by 106 kids and 71 adults. All the kids received a present from Santa and a hot turkey dinner. Nearly all of that was donated although we still had to go and buy them presents.

This year we really need your help to make sure that we can help as many families as we can in having a happy Christmas. By donating just one gift this would make all the difference!

We depend on your help and donations to make this possible. There's still time to fundraise or even collect those unwanted tins and packets at the back of the cupboard. With your help and support no family will go without this Christmas.

The type of items that go a long way in making a difference are:

• Non perishable food items- to help with winter hampers
• Stocking fillers- for the little extras on Christmas day that make a difference
• Party food- to help make our Christmas Party the best yet
• Wrapping paper/ sellotape/ gift tags- the little things that go a long way
• Gifts for adults (toiletries, perfume, make up) Donations of any kind are always greatly appreciated.
• We also take monetary donations which also goes a long way to help us provide our services at With Kids.
• Toys

All of your donations really do go a long way in helping out families who are in great need, especially at this time of the year so thank you from all of the families and With Kids!
