ETHOS Family Support Hub Christmas Appeal

14th Nov 2024

As the holiday season is approaching, many families in our community are facing a Christmas unlike any other. The rising cost of living has left parents struggling, not only to provide the basics but to also create the magic of Christmas every child deserves. For many, the holidays feel less like a time of joy and more of a hurdle to overcome. The ETHOS Family Support Hub see firsthand the weight on parents’ shoulders and the worry in their eyes as they try to make ends meet. With your help, we can turn that worry into relief and give those families the gift of hope this Christmas.

We are asking for your support towards the ETHOS Family Support Hub's 2024 Appeal to ensure that no child in our community has to wake up to an empty Christmas. Whether it’s a toy to bring a smile to a young child’s face, a warm pair of pyjamas or a simple voucher to let a teenager feel seen and valued, your kindness will make a world of difference. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will bring us one step closer to making this holiday season special for families who need it most.

Their wish list includes:

· Babies and young children (0-7) – Toys / Books / Games;

· Older children and young people (8-18) – Toiletries / Pyjamas / make-up / vouchers; (Xbox/PlayStation/Amazon).

Another way of supporting a family this Christmas is the option to sponsor a family. If this is something you are interested in, please call to the Hub and pick from their wish list tree.

Any donations can be left into our school office or via your child's teacher. We thank you in advance for your generosity.
