Still making Christmas special for slum kids!

It's the UK's first national #Giving Tuesday and Child of Hope is an official partner. We're continuing our Christmas Appeal to make Christmas special for our 365 slum school pupils with an amazing Christmas party... would you help us?

But first... big thanks to those of you who have donated to this appeal already, your gifts are much appreciated.

So, we aim to give the Child of Hope kids a terrific meal – probably the only one this year with real meat – along with a gift, some clothing and sweets... and lots of fun! This annual event brings a lot of happiness to the children – and they can bring a parent and brother/sister along too.

It all costs around £4 per child (including other family members) – so would you like to join the party by helping fund it? You could donate for yourself, or pay for a friend! Any donations would be helpful, small or large, and we'll e-mail you a ‘Thank You’ card to print out and pop on your mantlepiece!

It's easy to do... simply click on the Make Christmas for a Child button below. This will take you to our online donations page, where you can donate safely via PayPal (with a Paypal account or just your credit/debit card). (If more money is donated than needed for the party, the excess will go into our nutritional programme to help us provide better food each day).

If you would prefer to post a cheque or donate direct from you bank, please click here for details.

Many thanks, and have a great Christmas!
