🎁 URGENT APPEAL: Help Us Bring Christmas Joy to Local Children 🎄
We need your help. With just weeks to go, donations to the Chard Christmas Present Appeal 2025 have been heartbreakingly low — and we’re desperate to turn things around.
We know times are tough. The rising cost of living has affected everyone- and it’s no surprise that donations are down. But for many families in our town, the hardship is even greater. That’s why this appeal matters more than ever.
Every year, we support children aged 0–18 across Chard and surrounding areas who might otherwise go without a gift this Christmas. But this year, the shelves are nearly bare.
We’re calling on our community to give a little back.
Whether it’s a new toy, a warm hoodie, a book, or a donation towards a gift — every contribution makes a difference.
A special plea to local businesses:
If you’re in a position to help — whether through a donation, a fundraiser, or by sponsoring a bulk purchase — we would love to hear from you. Your support could transform Christmas for dozens of children. Please consider joining us in this mission.
📦 Drop off new, unwrapped gifts at:
Forefront Community Centre or Chard Community Hub
by Friday 21st November
