THIS WAS OUR FOUNDER'S CAMPAIGN MESSAGE 10 YEARS AGO...

AND IT STILL STANDS TRUE FOR MANY CHILDREN TODAY!

"Imagine waking up as a child on Christmas Day to no toys, gifts or a hot meal.

Every child deserves gifts on Christmas Day no matter what their circumstances are.

Now imagine that your generosity has turned that sad face into a bright happy excited child on

Christmas morning. Giving is the true spirit of Christmas!

Can you donate just one gift made with love?"

This year is Glasgow's Spirit of Christmas, 10th year and 11th annual gift campaign providing a Gift Made with Love to local children living in hardship or poverty in Glasgow and surrounding regions.

Since 2014 our amazing community made up of donors, social media community members, caring organisations, local businesses, charity partners and dedicated volunteers have protected the magic and spirit of Christmas for over 122,000 children with over 915,000 toys and gifts totalling an incredible retail value of £4,541,000.

Why we need your help!

The sad reality is that 1 in 5 children in Scotland and 1 in 3 in Glasgow lives in poverty and many more are affected by hardship this year due to continued economic uncertainty and the cost of living crisis. That figure is set to rise over the coming years with a massive increase forecasted in child poverty.

We want to protect and make sure every child is included at Christmas and has a wonderful magical experience. You and your family can become a Secret Santa to a local child in need this festive season. No-one can imagine waking up as a child on Christmas Day to no presents.

Can you be a child's Secret Santa this year?
