Donate to our Mother Claus Christmas Appeal!
This holiday season, join us in spreading joy and hope by donating gifts for women and children in refuge. Many families escaping domestic abuse face Christmas without the warmth and comfort of home. You can make a difference by giving the gift of kindness.
What to donate to women and children in refuge?
New toys for all ages (we support children from babies up to 18 years old)
PJs, slippers, hats, scarves and gloves for all ages (not forgetting mums!)
Sweets and selection boxes.
Toiletry gifts sets and chocolates for children to give to their mums.
Gift vouchers (shops, supermarkets, gaming, pampering treatments.)
Donations for women
This holiday season, help us bring comfort and joy to women in refuge. While children's gifts are essential, it's also vital to remember the incredible women who often arrive with little more than a few essentials. We would love to offer a broad range of gifts to uplift and empower them during this challenging time. We have an amazon gift list with some ideas for women.
Donations for older children and teens
We really appreciate all the toys we receive for our young children and babies. We tend to find that we struggle to get gifts for older children and teens. We support children up to age 18 in our refuges. We also look to provide gifts to the young women in our outreach project Enough!! The Enough!! team support young women from age 13 to 21. Any gifts for teenagers and young people in this age bracket is much appreciated, as we tend to find we get less donations for this age range.

Can I donate money?
If you would rather donate money to our Mother Claus Appeal, we are more than happy to accept donation that will allow us to organise Christmas themed trips and activities. In previous years, financial donations have allowed us to arrange trips to Christmas pantos, ice skating and visits to see the Christmas lights.
As well as activities during the Christmas period, financial donations allow us to help women and children have a magical Christmas day with nice food and treats.
You can donate via our Mother Claus Campaign Paypal page
