AberNecessities Christmas campaign - No Child Should Go Without Believing in Magic - will provide hundreds of children with a Christmas Eve Box to help deliver a little joy at the most wonderful time of the year.

Each Christmas Eve Box will be lovingly filled with cosy pyjamas, slipper socks, a festive activity, a Christmas story, a mug and hot chocolate, a sweetie or two and a treat for Santa & Reindeer.

Each box costs £35 and will provide a child with not only special gifts but a happy memory that will live on in that childs mind for years to come.

As we pause and reflect on our childhood and the joy we experienced throughout the festivities, please spare a thought for those less fortunate. Sadly, 18% of children across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are living in poverty which means the magical feeling and hopeful anticipation of Christmas morning doesn't exist. We want to change that and add a little magic where we can.

If you would like to get involved and help us ensure every child gets to believe in the magic this Christmas this year, please donate what you can. After all, childhood should be a cherished time when everything is real, and anything is possible.

Your generous support allows us to support the children who truly needed our help the most thank you.
