Story

The heartbreaking thought that we don't always consider is that on Christmas morning there are far too many families who cannot provide their kids even the smallest gift... 🎁

Over 2000 Families have responded or been referred to this appeal in South Ayrshire alone so it's time to use our power to help them see the joy we so often take for granted on our own children's faces

We have decided this year to support Night Before Christmas Campaign...

It's short notice and we need to move fast and work with the restrictions SO here's the plan

Lorraine Howie and I are going to attempt our FULL WEEKS programming (6 sessions) in ONE DAY

On Monday we will give it our all to help as many families as we can create some joy this Christmas

Are we ready?

Probably not but it's for a great cause 😂

All we ask is for you guys to dig deep and support us and help support some others less fortunate than you

You can join in from home if you fancy?

We can tailor the sessions to suit an at-home style so you too can show your support for our local kids

We will be working from the gym and attempting not to die in a pile of sweat and tears (ME)

EVERYTHING we raise will go towards helping these families so please if you can help us out and we will be truly grateful

About the charity

In November 2015, a 12 year old girl from Annbank asked her mum if every child got a Night Before Christmas Box like her. Her mum, Jodie McFarlane, explained “not every child is as lucky as she is, some children don’t get anything at Christmas time”. She was saddened by this and asked her mum to help her to make boxes for children in their local area so they could feel the same magic at Christmas that she does, Jodie and her mum, Isabella Mcfarlane started a small campaign. They collected and distributed 90 boxes with only weeks to spare before Christmas. In 2016, Jodie and Isabella continued their night before Christmas campaign and made it their mission to spread the Christmas spirit beyond Annbank and Ayrshire. Jodie’s friend Gail Fisher and her daughter Taylor Fisher joined the team to lead collections and distributions in Renfrewshire and Glasgow. We were overwhelmed by the amount of support we got from the individuals and organisations, who helped us smash our target of 250 boxes, we distributed 593 boxes. On a cold November morning, we spent hours in Glasgow giving out food, hats, gloves and hot drink vouchers (all of which were donated) to the homeless. It really opened our eyes and we were shocked to see how many people are currently sleeping rough on Glasgow's streets. At this point we decided we had to do as much as we could to help and we started collecting backpacks for the homeless and took the decision to register as a charity to take forward our mission.
