Christmas is a time for celebration and giving, but for many families in our community, it can also bring financial worries – particularly when it comes to providing presents for their children.
To help ease some of this pressure, we’re bringing together local people who would like to help and families who may be finding it difficult to afford Christmas gifts for their children aged 0–12.
The Cutteslowe Christmas Wishing Tree is organised and administered by Cutteslowe Community Centre. Local donors are invited to sign up to buy a gift, up to the value of £25, for a child in need. Donors are then matched with a child, and their unwrapped gifts are delivered to the Community Centre, where they are wrapped ready for distribution.
The scheme is completely anonymous, protecting the privacy of both donors and recipient families. All personal information collected will be securely destroyed once the project has been completed.
Important dates:
- Friday 13 November: Deadline for families wishing to receive a gift to register.
- Friday 4 December: Deadline for donors to deliver unwrapped gifts to Cutteslowe Community Centre.
Whether you would like to donate a gift or register your child to receive one, your involvement will help make Christmas a little brighter for a local family.
To take part, either as a donor or recipient, please email stephjankovic.cca@gmail.com.
