These last couple of years have put so much pressure on families and Christmas time can be an extra worry as parents/carers try to make Christmas special for their children.

Each year we aim to help many of these families in by working with social services, health visitors, schools & children centres who refer to us the families they have identified as being in greatest need. We are able to put together gift parcels for these families that are then distributed out by those agencies we work with here in Milton Keynes.

To do this we rely on the help of individuals, community groups, churches & businesses who kindly donate to our appeal. We ask for new/unwrapped gifts 0-16 yrs but we are aware especially at present some people may be unable to go out and buy gifts. 

We have set up this page for anybody who would still like to help and who are happy to make a financial contribution. The funds raised help towards the purchase of gifts especially where there are 'gaps' such as the very young children or teens.

Thank you.
