Your donation can support families in crisis
Put a smile on a child’s face who has nothing this Christmas
Your gift will support families this Christmas and beyond
This Christmas, 1 in 6 parents and carers can’t afford a single gift for their child.* They worry they’ve let their kids down, and many go without essentials just to try and make Christmas happen. Your donation can ensure a child has a gift to unwrap on Christmas Day, and help to make sure no child feels Santa has forgotten them.
Family Action also provides practical, emotional and financial support to families all year round. Donations from this campaign will be used by Family Action for our general charitable purposes this Christmas and beyond.

When you don’t get much, having that one present to open when you sit around the tree means a lot. At least you’ve got a present… at least you got one.
Last year, when Family Action got in touch about the Toy Appeal, I was deciding on whether to buy presents or food. I hope the people donating know that the presents mean a lot to us and have made us smile.
I was worried that, because I couldn’t afford anything for my youngest, my seven and five-year-old would wonder why he didn’t get anything from Santa and whether he’d been a naughty baby. Having presents from the Toy Appeal was a huge weight off my shoulders.
I’d say that without the people who donate my children would have gone without last year, and not having the resources to provide made me feel useless as a mum.
Your company can deliver
In 2024 Family Action’s Christmas Toy Appeal distributed over 15,000 presents to children and young people across the country. Every year, amazing organisations like yours take part, collecting and distributing gifts.
For some children, this present might be the only one they’ll open this Christmas. We couldn’t do this without you.
