Everyone knows the story Christmas Carol. In the story Tiny Tim was destitute with nothing except the love of his family. What fewer people know is that this is still the reality for many children in the UK today.

Key areas of Thanet are some of the poorest in the UK and children instead of looking forward to Christmas dread it, knowing that instead of gifts under the tree they will be hungry and cold.

We want to make a simple difference by putting a Christmas Gift in as many families hands as possible. Last year we raised £5400 and supported 100 families giving them a hamper of food and gifts. This year we want to smash this and help 200 families by raising £10,000

The Gift includes:

toiletries

Food including Christmas treats

Gifts for the children

We need people to support this by:

Giving gifts (new toys)

Donating food (long life, non-perishable)

Giving money
