Christmas Present Appeal Resources

Resources to support local appeals

Every year, our Christmas Present Appeal (CPA) makes a huge difference to thousands of families across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Through the generosity of the public and business partners, we ensure that children in your community who might miss out on Christmas Day will instead have the joy of opening a gift.

If you are hosting an appeal - or you are a company or community group who is partnering with a local Salvation Army centre - all the promotional resources you need are here, scroll down the page for the following:

  • Editable A4 and A3 Be a Star Posters (Word/PDF formats, with or no QR code)
  • Editable Welsh Be a Star A3 Posters (Word, with or no QR code)
  • Christmas Celebration Lunch
  • Flyer, How to Toolkit, editable postcards and Thank You cards
  • Social media resources
