Christmas Gift Appeal

Home-Start Spelthorne work with young families across Spelthorne. Many families struggle at this time of year and we help by putting together bespoke gift bags with what the family actually need be it toys or warm coats.

Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. Last year we were absolutely blown away by the generosity of the community. We’re hoping to do the same this year, with your help.

Every year we give Christmas gifts to the families we are supporting. More and more we are working with families who need more than just toys, either due to the cost-of-living crisis they are struggling to buy the basics or because some children with additional needs are not interested in traditional toys.

Last year, thanks to local funding we were able to give bespoke gifts. Our gift bags were full of treats and hand delivered by our home-visiting volunteers.

We asked families what they needed, and we bought warm coats, socks, vests, sensory toys, books… the list goes on. Here’s an idea of your donation may be spent.

£2 could buy some warm gloves

£5 could buy a woolly hat

£7 could buy a fleecy blanket

£10 could buy a warm jumper

£15 could buy two pairs of warm PJs

£20 could buy a winter coat
