Not purchasing any Christmas cards this year? Why not help us send a small gift to a child or a young person accessing our specialist, mental health and community services and most in need of a moment of magic to generate a smile and show they are appreciated.
Supporting our Secret Santa Christmas Appeal will help us to provide a gift to kids across our services within Cheshire and Merseyside, including Children in Care, those visiting Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and more, alleviating the financial pressure and anxiety experienced at this time of year and providing an experience that they may otherwise miss out on. Your support with this appeal can make a significant difference to their mood, confidence and wellbeing and show each child they are appreciated.
Help us to raise £5,000 each year so we can buy a bundle of requested gifts for children accessing our services. Alternatively, you can order a listed gift directly to one of our CYP teams here
