Forth 1 Cash for Kids launches Mission Christmas

1 in 4 local children are living in poverty

Please help us make their Christmas Day special this year, in partnership with B&M

In 2016 with your amazing support we raised £1 million in gifts and cash and made Christmas special for over 18,000 local children, and we want to do even more this year.

We’re asking you to buy an extra present that we can give to a disadvantaged local child to make their Christmas morning special. We need new and unwrapped gifts suitable for children and young people aged 0-18 years, and you can donate at our drop off points across the region. See the map below to find your nearest location.

We’re also looking for local organisations and schools to sign up and collect gifts during the appeal as well as anyone who’d like to fundraise, take part in our Jumper Day on 8th December, receive gifts and support from the appeal or just make a donation – go to https://planetradio.co.uk/forth/charity/events/forth-mission-christmas/ to get involved!

Together we can make a difference to local children this Christmas.
