For many of us, Christmas is a special time for giving and sharing, and spending quality time with family and friends. However for many families across the country, this isn't the case. With over 4 million children growing up in poverty , one in four adults experiencing a mental health issue each year , and seven million children and adults providing care for a loved one pressure on family life can mean Christmas is miserable, rather than magical. We believe that all children, and their families should have the chance to have a happier Christmas together. That's why we need your help to give them the support they need to manage the pressures of family life.
