Giving local children a December to remember
Thank you to everyone who supported our Santa Stork Christmas appeal. With your help, we funded Christmas gifts and stocking fillers for 593 local children, giving more families across Elmbridge the Christmas they deserve.
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you, I received presents for my three children today through my early support worker and I was taken aback by how special and thoughtful your charity is. To also include the wrapping paper, batteries and sellotape is brilliant and very much appreciated. I can’t thank you enough, the presents will make my children so very happy on Christmas Day.”
This Christmas, we teamed up with Stripey Stork again to ensure more children across Elmbridge had a gift to open on Christmas Day.
We pledged to match every donation made to our Santa Stork Christmas appeal and, thanks to the generosity of our local community, we raised over £17,000.
For families struggling to make ends meet, the gifts and treats from Santa Stork brought much-needed joy and relief, putting a smile on children’s faces and taking the pressure off parents.
As one support worker said:
“These gifts will bring joy to our children and young people at a time when they need it the most. Christmas magic at its finest!”
