We are delighted to be launching our 2024 Christmas Campaign, collecting Christmas presents for those we support in our refuges and safehouses! Every year, we are blown away by the generosity of our supporters, helping to spread some festive cheer to our service users.
Many of those that we support come to us with very few personal belongings, often having to leave toys, games, and other bits behind. Your support is hugely appreciated and helps to ensure that Christmas remains a special time for everyone!
How to Donate
We are asking anyone looking to donate to the campaign to book a slot to drop their donations off with us. This enables us to organise our donation space and keep things running as smoothly as possible!
The list of items we are accepting includes:
We ask that all items are new and are unwrapped – we have to sort through all donations so we have to unwrap anything that is already in wrapping paper!
If you have any questions about our campaign or would like to book a slot to drop-off items, please email donations@leewaynwa.org.uk.
Amazon Wishlist
For those that would like to donate to our campaign but are unable to physically drop items off in-person, we are compiling an Amazon Wishlist.
The list will contain specific items that supporters can purchase, which will automatically update when someone purchases something on our list. As with all the other donations collected in our campaign, they will go to the people that we support in refuge and the community, helping to spread some festive cheer.
We are still in the process of compiling this list, so keep an eye out on social media for updates!
