Harpenden

We believe every child deserves a new gift at Christmas so we are unable to take used or second hand items for the Christmas Present Appeal.

However we want to make it as easy as possible for you to support a child or young person at this time of year. So we ask every parent what their children would like for Christmas and what general things they like too. We then prepopulate an Amazon Wish List by age so that if you would like to, you can choose to buy a present and know that it is being given to a specific child. We have also set the lists up so that the present is delivered directly to us so you don't have to worry about dropping it off in time. 

Alternatively, you may wish to make a donation using our justgiving page, and all donations made this way are used specifically to help buy presents for those whose wish has not come true. 

Be assured that every present and every penny given, will be used to brighten somebodies Christmas this year.
