Dear Santa...
Help make sure
a child has a
present of
their own this Christmas.
Every child’s Christmas wish is different.
It may be a soft toy pulled close in a cuddle. A game waiting to be played. Or something to build, draw or create. Each present may be one of thousands.
For some families, finding the money for even a simple present can be hard.
Your Christmas gift can help provide thoughtful presents and practical support for children, at Christmas and beyond.
A moment from the Variety Kids Christmas Party
Something special of their own.
A simple present. A moment to remember.
Ethan attended the Variety Kids Christmas Party in Newcastle and opened his present with excitement.
“At most parties, people stare when my son gets overwhelmed. At the Variety Christmas party, no one stared. We just felt welcome. For once, we could relax and be happy as a family together.”
Your support means a lot to children and families at Christmas. Your gift can help put those presents into children’s hands.
How your gift helps
Some wishes are for Christmas Day. Others can open up the year ahead.
A LEGO to build at home, a toy to cuddle, or a game to play long after the party. Noise-reducing headphones to make busy places more comfortable.
Your gift could also help provide equipment for music, art or sport, or contribute towards a tablet for learning, play or communication.
Christmas presents reach children through the Variety Kids Christmas Party and through families, schools and community organisations. Larger items are supported through other Variety programs and may be provided after Christmas.
Because of Variety, my kids received gifts I could never have afforded. Seeing their joy brought me to tears.
