    Iʼve raised £1,459 to help families in South Oxfordshire

    Funded on Monday, 2nd December 2024

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Every year for the past 7 years, we donate hundred of Christmas gifts to disadvantaged and vulnerable children in the Abingdon and surrounding South Oxfordshire areas. We are committed to doing the same this year and for this, we need your help!

    We are looking for toy donations for children aged 1-12 and teenager gifts up to age 16. This money raised will enable us to purchase toys on your behalf.

    We can assure you that your act of kindness will have a huge impact on the wellbeing of these children and bring some joy into their lives. For these kids, your gift really makes a difference.

    All the children are referred to us by local charities whose families desperately need a helping hand through tough circumstances such as domestic violence, zero hour contracts, illness, and house fires.

    We’re hugely proud to say that the generosity of the local community last year, helped 501 children, with over 1300 presents being opened Christmas morning.

    Unfortunately the ongoing financial pressure of life mean that there are likely to be even more families in need of a little help this Christmas. If you can donate even just a few pounds we can buy toys for those in need on Christmas Day.... we need your help more than ever 🙏

    In order to continue this work in Abingdon we need to source the following items:

    * Kids toys 0-12 years, and teenager gifts

    * Wrapping paper/gift tags/sellotape

    * Board Games

    These are the items we will purchase with your donation.

    Thank you in advance, it means alot.

      Massive thank you to all those you have donated. We appreciate every penny. We identify gaps in our donated age group gifts and we fill those gaps with suitable toys/gifts so your donations are vital to everything we do!
