**UPDATE**

Thanks to the generosity of the local community we have been able to buy gifts for all of our families. We have been blown away by your generosity and we know this will make a big difference to families this Christmas.

Merry Christmas from all at Home-Start Spelthorne.

Every year we give Christmas gifts to the families we are supporting. More and more we are working with families who need more than just toys, either due to the cost-of-living crisis they are struggling to buy the basics or because some children with additional needs are not interested in traditional toys.

Last year, thanks to local funding we were able to give bespoke gifts;

a child with additional needs was gifted a sensory toy,

a family who were struggling financially received warm coats,

exhausted parents with a disabled child received a gift voucher to treat themselves to a takeaway

We would love to do the same this year, but we are really really struggling for funds. Are you able to donate today?
