Want to do something to make a child's Christmas this year? Read on to find out how you can make a real difference for families across the UK this Christmas.

 

Last year, the Salvation Army distributed more than 76,000 gifts to families who's children would otherwise go without at Christmas. This year, they are expecting the number of families in need to be even higher. 

​

Across the UK throughout November and into December, many local Salvation Army centres will be running "the Christmas present appeal", asking for people to donate presents for children. 

​

We would like to ask that if you're able to help support this cause, that you bring something with you to our Christmas show on 06/12/2024 at The Patriot, Crumlin. What you donate is up to you, but there are some guidelines to follow, and please make sure it is:

a) Unwrapped 

b) New

c) Suitable for children

​

That's all you need to do! You bring the gift with you, hand it over to us, and we'll get them all to the Salvation Army in the days following the show. It couldn't be easier and it will make a huge difference to a child and their family this Christmas. 

 

If you want some suggestions for gifts for children and young people, then please check out the below: 

​

• 0-3 years:  dolls, teddy bears, cot mobiles, baby clothes, bath toys, puzzles

• 3-5: dolls and action figures, cars, lorries, colouring sets, pencils, crayons, books, puzzles

• 5-9: educational games & toys, stationery (colouring sets, pencils, crayons, school sets), books, puzzles, wordsearch, crosswords
