Christmas this year is like no other before!
Normally over the Christmas period we hold parties, take children to watch pantomimes take their whole families to meet Santa in London, visit Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, and a variety of activities to come and play. This year none of these events can happen.
In the first lockdown, 77% of the families we support were in the extremely vulnerable and shielded category - we do not know how many will be this time but we do know that many will be unable to see Santa without Little Miracles this year and every child deserves to see Santa.
Instead this year we are bringing Santa to the families of the most vulnerable children. Throughout December Santa will be visiting families and bringing every child a present, activities to complete whilst they are off school, and food to help the families survive this difficult time.
To do this we need YOUR help!
How you can get involved
In order to make this happen, we need lots of things not just your donations.
Physical Items
- Presents for children of all ages (these need to be new and sealed in a covering that can be wiped with an anti-bac wipe)
- Wrapping paper, gift tags, and sellotape
- Donations of food for emergency food parcels to be made for families (things like pasta, rice, cereals, biscuits, beans, spaghetti, soups, tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, tuna, tinned meat, tea, coffee, juice, washing powder, toothpaste, toiletries, toilet paper.)

Money
- In an ideal world everything would be donated but this year is hard if you can contribute anything towards helping us get children to see Santa this year we would be very grateful.
Every penny counts and goes towards giving children an amazing Christmas.
Thank you
