This cause is important to me as I was abused as a child from the age of 6 years old until I was 13, it gave me a lot of trauma and subsequently mental health problems which I still have at 53 years old.

If we can help children with mental health issues when they are children we just might make a difference to the type of life they will lead in the future, hopefully happy and healthy

Since 2016 we have provided special Christmas gifts for children and young people who are inpatients in child and adolescent mental health (CAMHS) wards across the UK over the festive period.

These young people will be experiencing one of the most challenging times in their lives, and they absolutely deserve to feel special, remembered and included during the holiday season.

This year, with your help, we're hoping to give a gift to every single young person who needs a gift who is in inpatient mental health care at Christmas - as well as a special gift, activities, homemade cards, sensory toys and decorations for every ward too. We simply couldn't do this without your support - thank you so much.
