We're raising as much money as possible to ensure that every child in Dundee and the surrounding areas experiences the joy of Christmas. Our goal is to make sure that no child wakes up without a present on Christmas morning.

Based in the Heart of Dundee and Perth. Help for Kids is a local children's charity. Help for Kids works directly with communities, families, support workers, volunteers, and professionals to be able to provide the best and most effective support to the children who need it most.

Each year, we organise a special event, funded from our own pockets and with generous support from local businesses, to host a Christmas light switch-on. This event brings the community together to celebrate the magic of Christmas while raising vital funds for those who need it most.

The event:

We’ve got a fun-filled evening planned with pizza, drinks, and a visit from Santa, and we hope you can join us! Come along, enjoy the night, and support a great cause, every penny raised makes a difference.

Where do your donations go:

The Help for Kids team ensures that every referral is fulfilled, providing each child not with just one gift but a sack full of goodies. Many of the children supported by the charity go without basic essentials, let alone receive Christmas presents.

Children in need could be just five minutes away from you, and unlike other charities, all the money raised stays within the local Dundee and Perth Area.
