With Kids Christmas Appeal 2010

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

The "With Kids" Santa has lost his Sleigh - Can anyone help?

The "With Kids" Santa has lost his sleigh! We urgently need a 4x4 to deliver food, winter clothing and toys to vulnerable children and families in the East End of Glasgow. We need the vehicle for the run up to Christmas.

As you know, many families that we work with don't have enough money to pay for gas, electricity, adequate winter clothing and basic food items to keep their children warm and well fed over the festive period. For many it can be a choice between keeping warm or not buying food items.

Buying presents are even more of an issue for many families and we know of at least fifty families that will not receive a main Xmas present unless With Kids provides it. Our commitment is to help as many families as possible. We really can make a difference to vulnerable children and families at Christmas in particular. Especially when the weather is so cold.

If you can donate a vehicle, please contact http://network.withkids.org.uk
