Faith in Families launches Christmas appeal

Faith in Families is aiming to bring joy to children in need in Swansea this festive season, with the launch of its Compassionate Christmas campaign.

Last year’s appeal raised more than £10,000, which meant 500 presents were delivered to families across Swansea.

Faith in Families CEO Cherrie Bija said: “We work with over 500 families in Swansea every week, and the sad truth is that many children in Swansea will wake to nothing this year.

“This Christmas, if you wanted to spread some joy to the children in our city, then please do so soon, and please give our parents the consideration and kindness in being part of that joy too.

“By giving just £50 to our Christmas campaign you will be helping us to deliver gift vouchers to the parents we work with, so their children don’t have to go without this year.”

The innovative campaign is designed to empower parents to give children gifts that they had asked for, rather than giving them donated gifts that may not be a perfect fit.

“This year when you are giving choose Faith in Families and support us in making dreams come true this Christmas. 100% of money raised will be distributed to struggling families across Swansea,” Cherrie said.

The deadline for donations is 18 December. You can donate here and more information is available here.
