At Yorkshire Children’s Charity, we believe that every child deserves a joyful Christmas. This time of year can be particularly hard for our local communities, with families having to make impossible decisions like whether to heat their homes, buy winter essentials or a present for their children. ​
We have almost 2,000 children relying on us to deliver festive magic this year – and we need your help.
Whether you are part of a corporation looking to set up a festive Giving Tree with Yorkshire Children’s Charity gift tags, or an individual interested in community gifting, we welcome and appreciate any generosity you can spare at this time of year.
There are lots of ways that you/your company can get involved in our Christmas campaign this year...
Donations - Donate your chosen amount and help us reach almost 2,000 children across Yorkshire this festive period.
Donate specific gifts - We'll send you items from the wish lists we receive so that you can donate the amount for specific presents.
Giving Trees - We can set up specific donation gift lists for corporates wanting to get the whole office involved.
Community gifting - We'll put you in touch with a local community group looking for donated gifts.
Volunteer - We're always looking for more people to join us in the warehouse packing gifts and winter essentials throughout November and December.
The easiest way to help us with our aim of fulfilling children’s specific Christmas wish lists is through symbolic gifting, making a donation.
100% of donations will go directly to fulfilling children’s festive wish lists.
This festive period, you can donate the exact amount towards a gift from a child's wish list, and play a vital part in keeping the magic alive for the children we support.
Example: Rahel*, age 8, has asked Santa for a Crayola Paper Butterfly Craft Kit - £15
If your company would like to make multiple donations or donate a number of gifts to Yorkshire Children's Charity, let's chat about how you can set up a 'Giving Tree' in your office.
We want all of our families to experience the magic of Christmas - and this includes parents; we request that any gifts provided are given unwrapped.
Please send presents with paper and tags if you can so that parents can be part of the gifting process.
