Derbyshire Carers Association - Christmas Appeal 2024

Could you help a family in need with food and gifts during the festive season?

We know that Christmas can be a very difficult time for many Carers who worry about the additional costs over the festive period. We are contacted frequently by families struggling to buy food and gifts for their children and families. With your support, we can make sure Carers and their families don’t go without this Christmas.

This year we are looking for donations for the following:

• Christmas Gifts – purchasing toys and gifts for Young and Young Adult Carers to open on Christmas morning

• Family Hampers – helping families with the greatest needs to have festive foods and treats.

Every penny raised in our 2024 Carers Christmas appeal will be used for family hampers or toys and gifts for Young and Young Adult Carers.

Your generosity can go a long way:

£3 would buy a Christmas pudding for a family to enjoy

£5 would buy a tin of biscuits to include in a hamper

£10 would purchase a toy for a small child

£20 would purchase a gift set for a young person

Together, let’s give the gift of support and kindness to those who give so much all year long. Every pound counts!
