Give a child warmth and joy this festive season
Every hour throughout December, three more babies will be born into poverty in London. Take a second to think about that. This should not be happening in one of the world’s wealthiest cities.
Christmas should be a magical time for every child. Yet this year, thousands of families with babies and young children, the festive period is filled with worry rather than excitement.
Donate below to give a child the essentials they need this winter and for their parents to get the support they need, when they need it most.

How your donation could help
Volunteer with us this Christmas
Looking for a meaningful way to give back? Join us at our Wandsworth warehouse and help sort and prepare bundles of toys, books, warm clothes and essentials. Whether you come on your own, with friends, family or colleagues, just a few hours can help bring comfort, joy and warmth to a child this winter. Volunteer sessions run from November to February - we'd love you to be part of making Christmas a little brighter for London families.
Cosy night bundles
In our baby banks, we meet parents who are making impossible choices between heating their homes, buying nappies, or putting food on the table. When money is stretched to breaking point, presents, books, and festive treats simply aren’t an option.
We also have a festive wish list that will help us to give children and babies a cosy bathtime and bedtime:
- Kids toiletries (new or unopened)
- Baby or children’s towels
- Pyjamas and sleepsuits
- Blankets or sleeping bags for babies
- Bedding like sheets for cribs, cots or cot beds
- Moses baskets
Here's how your support can help
"It's scary having a newborn in the winter, I was scared that I didn't have enough layers, my flat was freezing and I was worried about putting the heating on because costs keeps going up. As a mum you deal with it when you're cold but they're so little they're vulnerable and it's really scary worrying about them."
