Giving Gifts to Children in Sutton this Christmas
Every Christmas, the giving of gifts to one another forms part of a long-held tradition of generosity, that helps to celebrate the real meaning of the Christmas season. But for many families, the pressures of finance and their own personal hardship, means that some children will not receive many gifts, or one at all.
Every year, Sutton Salvation Army helps to ensure that families most in need of support, are able to give gifts to their children, through our annual Christmas Gift Appeal.
Partnering with Sutton’s Children’s services and local domestic abuse charities, combined with your generous gift-giving, we are able to support families in need of support, enabling them to have gifts to give their children.
How You Can Help
By taking a yellow tag from our giving tree, you can choose a gift request from families and children in our community. Children and their families have told us what they would most like this Christmas, and each tag enables you to help meet that request.
The tags give you a specific guide of a gift for each child. We recommend spending up to a maximum value of £20 per tag, as well as a roll of wrapping paper. This enables parents and carers to wrap the gifts themselves before giving them to the children.
How It Works
1. Take a yellow tag from our giving tree and KEEP IT SAFE.
2. Buy a gift according to the age and interests of the child, listed on the tag.
3. Buy a roll of wrapping paper.
4. Bring the gift and roll of wrapping paper to The Salvation Army along WITH the YELLOW TAG, either before December 1st, or to our special Toy Service on December 1st at 10:30am.
5. The gifts will be delivered to families in the borough of Sutton before Christmas, ready for them to wrap for their children, in time for Christmas Day.
We are so grateful for your willingness to help and support families in our community this Christmas and for the generous gifts that will be given.
