Christmas Appeal 2012

We know it's only October and that you don't want to hear the word but it's only 10 weeks till Christmas! And it's that time of the year where we need your help!

Christmas can be really tough financially for many families. Each year we help families that are struggling by providing presents, food hampers and credit towards utility bills who would otherwise go without.

Last year we provided 101 families with presents, food and credit for utility bills. Our Christmas party was attended by 106 kids and 71 adults. All the kids received a present from Santa and a hot turkey dinner. Nearly all of that was donated although we still had to go and buy them presents.

This year we really need your help to make sure that we can help as many families as we can in having a happy Christmas. By donating just one gift this would make all the difference!

We depend on your help and donations to make this possible. There's still time to fundraise or even collect those unwanted tins and packets at the back of the cupboard. With your help and support no family will go without this Christmas.

The type of items that go a long way in making a difference are:
  • Non perishable food items- to help with winter hampers
  • Stocking fillers- for the little extras on Christmas day that make a difference
  • Party food- to help make our Christmas Party the best yet
  • Wrapping paper/ sellotape/ gift tags- the little things that go a long way
  • Gifts for adults (toiletries, perfume, make up) Donations of any kind are always greatly appreciated.
  • We also take monetary donations which also goes a long way to help us provide our services at With Kids.
  • Toys
All of your donations really do go a long way in helping out families who are in great need, especially at this time of the year so thank you from all of the families and With Kids!

If you know someone who can assist then please contact us on 0141 550 5770 or drop us an email at info@withkids.org.uk

Come along if you dare...

As the nights get longer and leaves begin to fall off the trees this can only mean one thing - Halloween is almost here!

This year we are having our first ever spooky Halloween Party at With Kids and there will be plenty of tricks and treats to look forward to!

The party takes place on Wednesday 31st October from 4.30 - 6.30pm, and there will be lots of spooky tricks and devilish treats on the evening.

If you would like to come along to our party, please get in touch as soon as possible - and remember to bring your fancy dress!

As ever, we are looking for donations of treats and sweets to help make our party even more fun.

We are also looking for volunteers to help us out on the night.

Do you know anyone who can help? If so, we would love to hear from you.

If you would like more information, or if you think you or any of your friends could lend us a hand, you can contact us on 0141 550 5770 or drop us an email on info@withkids.org.uk.
