Support our Christmas appeal
We Can’t Do it Without You
Become part of our Care Family Christmas story and help us make sure Care Experienced people feel loved this Christmas.
Donate to our Christmas appeal
Your donations are used to send parcels out to every one of our members, host over 100 people for a traditional dinner with all the trimmings on Christmas Day, and to provide sacks of presents, delivered by Santa!
Please donate what you can this year and become part of our Christmas story.
Each year, its costs more to deliver the same activities, as the costs of food, petrol and other essentials increase at an alarming rate. At the same time, our members need our support more than ever, as they too are impacted by the cost-of-living crisis. Every donation made to our appeal will help ensure that Care Experienced people are not forgotten this Christmas.
£10
will pay to send a parcel with a small gift and a handwritten Christmas card to a Care Experienced person.
£25
will cover expenses for a volunteer to drive a Care Experienced person to spend Christmas Day with friends at
our Care Family Christmas Dinner.
£50
will pay for a three course Christmas dinner with all the trimmings.
£100
will pay for Care Experienced siblings to come together on Christmas Day, each receiving a sack of presents from Santa.
Each year, our Christmas fundraising appeal raises money to help us tell new stories. This could be the story of someone’s first ever Care Family Christmas Dinner, the story of the volunteer who has given time on Christmas day to drive them there, or the story of the Who Care? Scotland member who looks forward to our handwritten Christmas card arriving in the post every year.
Stories from our MEMBERS
I was 17 and in my first flat on my own on Christmas Day. I saw a post on social media that said 50 young people who experienced the care system were coming together for the first time on Christmas Day to celebrate as one family. I must have read the article 10 times thinking if I had just found it earlier then I could have been there. A year later I was. I had found a family to spend Christmas Day with and it was more magical than I could ever put into words.
