Each year Prison Fellowship Scotland is privileged to support families affected by imprisonment through its Angel Tree Project providing gifts to children affected by imprisonment. Last year we were able to give more than 1300 gifts in 14 out of the 15 jails in Scotland and provide an extra bit of happiness to families who are often going through a very difficult time.

This year we want to be able to partner with all 15 prisons and we hope that you will help us do this.

This year has been challenging for all of us due to Covid but Christmas isn't cancelled and families need our help this year more than ever. Let's use this Christmas season as a time to show Gods grace by being generous in our giving

In our newsletter, you may have read how last year a young family from Glasgow were so overwhelmed when George dropped off a box of gifts on behalf of their Uncle who is serving time in prison that they said - "they had never experienced such generosity from a stranger"

Although in previous years we have welcomed provision of gifts for children, this year due to the Covid restrictions we would prefer that we can raise enough money which will then pass on to those we partner with.

It might be that you could also approach your Church to help us realise our goal of raising £5000 this Christmas.

If so please feel free to pass this message on or contact us at office@pfscotland.org where we will give you resources to fundraise on our behalf.

Help us to help the many families affected by imprisonment this year and to end 2020 on a positive note, your generosity and efforts are appreciated more than you know.
