Heather McSorley was so impressed with the support she and her son Logan (13) received from Positive Futures that she joined us as a member of staff!

Heather, from Castlederg, now supports a number of children in Tyrone through our Autism Outreach Service. Shes also helping us to promote our Christmas bauble appeal. By responding to our appeal, you will enable us to provide even more much needed support, whilst at the same time receiving a festive Positive Futures Christmas bauble.

So why did Heather join Positive Futures when she has her own challenges at home?

How can the Christmas bauble appeal help our services?

In the case of the Autism Outreach Service, some of the outdoor support we offer children and their families in the summer months isn't possible when the weather is colder, Heather says. That means we have to rent premises and buy materials for indoor activities. I know from my own experience how valuable this support is.

The Positive Futures Christmas bauble is available for a suggested donation of £6. (Higher donations are more than welcome!) The silver coloured bauble comes in its own presentation box, making it ideal as a present for a friend or family member..

In addition to covering the cost of a venue, here's how your donation can help:

£10 provides arts and crafts materials for a creativity session

£15 buys an hour of personalised support for a child

£30 allows us to run a 1-hour physical activity session for a small group of children.

To donate and receive your Christmas bauble, click the Give Now button. Please make sure you tick the option for further contact and complete your email details as a minimum so that we can receive your details for delivery. Please allow 5-7 working days for delivery.

It could be the best present you give this Christmas.
