For many of us, the holidays are a special time for giving and sharing, and spending quality time with family and friends. However, for many families across the country, this isn't the case. 

With over 4 million children growing up in poverty, one in four adults experiencing a mental health issue each year, and seven million children and adults providing care for a loved one - pressure on family life can mean the festive period is miserable, rather than magical. 

We believe that all children and their families should have the chance to have a happier holiday together. That's why we need your help to give them the support they need to manage the pressures of family life.

The Family Action Toy Appeal was set up to ensure no child we work with goes without a gift, and to help families enjoy this special time of year regardless of the pressures they face day to day.
