Children First is urging shoppers across Edinburgh and the Lothians to donate gifts through its festive Amazon Wish List to give children, who might otherwise go without, a brighter Christmas.
Online shoppers could make a huge difference to children and families supported by Children First across Edinburgh and the Lothians this Christmas.
Scotland’s national children’s charity protects children from harm and supports them to recover from trauma and abuse in their homes, schools and communities and through its national support line.
The charity’s team in Edinburgh has launched its festive Amazon Wish List so that people can give local children, that might otherwise go without, a brighter Christmas by choosing a gift online to donate.
Supporters can choose from a range of gifts, including supermarket vouchers to help families with festive essentials, warm clothing and blankets, or toys and games for children of all ages.
You can donate a gift at:
