This Christmas vulnerable children in the UK need our support more than ever. 
For most of us the festive season is a happy time. A time of excitement, laughter and magical memories. But there are children all over the UK who face a very different Christmas. A Christmas without food, warmth or love. We’re doing everything we can to change this – and we need your help right now.

With your support, though, we can be a vital lifeline for UK children. We can make sure they have the basics, like hot meals and proper winter clothes. And we could offer emergency support to keep
homes warm and help families pay the bills.

This year Spring Childcare by Action for Children are being a Secret Santa. You could be a Secret Santa for a vulnerable child too by sponsoring Spring in their Christmas Reindeer Race!
Staff and Children across Spring Childcare are excited to be taking part in a festive Reindeer race to raise vital funds for Action for Children's Secret Santa appeal. Children and staff will be dressing in their favourite festive clothing and reindeer antlers to have some festive fun. 

You could be a Secret Santa too by sponsoring Spring in their Christmas singalong! 

In the UK, 4.3 million children are living in poverty. That’s the equivalent of nine children in every school class of 30. Families are struggling to afford the basics, like food and clothes. And Christmas
can be the hardest time of all. The impact of the pandemic means that even more children will miss out on the magical Christmas they deserve.
At Action for Children we see children who are struggling every day. But we also see the difference you can make. By becoming a Secret Santa – and raising money – you can help to bring happiness, warmth and safety to vulnerable children.

Last year, people like you helped us reach more than 604,000 children, young people and families in the UK.
