"I genuinely think some of the children would literally have had nothing this year. Not only did they have gifts to open, but they would have felt like their parent had made effort to give them something that they liked. They would be able to join in with conversations at school about what they got for Christmas, rather than being the odd ones out who didn't get anything from Santa/parents - such a massive thing! It also meant the mum felt significantly less guilty for her abiltiy to provide 'extras' like gifts at Christmas. Thank you so much!!" - Feedback from Christmas 2023
In the run up to Christmas we are extra busy; on top of our core service we open our annual Christmas campaign. Gifts4Kids sees Family2Family collect donations of brand new toys and gifts for children 0 - 16 years who are living in East Sussex (or surrounding areas) and are otherwise likely to go without a gift.
Christmas 2024 saw 1900 gifts distributed to 633 children. Each child received a main gift, secondary gift and stocking filler gift - whilst we don't collect information about families that would make them recognisable, we asked referees to provide details about the children's interests and needs so we could ensure gifts were well matched.
