On our 5p Bus we meet people who have very little, if anything, to spend on their children. Christmas is going to be tough for them.
Imagine waking up on Christmas morning knowing that you haven’t been able to buy presents for your children. Not a very pleasant prospect.
You can make a big difference by helping us provide Christmas presents for children and teenagers who otherwise won’t receive any.
It’s easy to get involved, and we’re not asking you to buy expensive gifts.
If you’ve got new toys or can afford a new gift for a toddler, or a teenager, then do get in contact with us.
All you need to do is bring your gift to our head office or to our 5p bus depot.
You don’t have to worry about wrapping your gift, we’ll do that; and we can take in gifts to give to children right up to the 19 December.
In return you know that you’ll have put a smile on someone’s face this Christmas, and really made their day special, just as it should be.
Thank you so much for helping.
If you’re stuck for ideas, below are some gift ideas that always go down well. Otherwise, we leave it up to you to give and spend what you like.
Example gifts include:
- Board games
- Craft sets
- Cuddly toys
- Sports items
- Toiletries
- Make up
- Fashion jewellery
- CDs or DVDs
Remember you don’t have to spend a lot, it really is the thought that counts.
Thank you.
