Christmas should be a time to feel cared for and included.

Christmas should be a time of joy, connection, and belonging. But for many children and young people in foster care, the season can often feel lonely and uncertain.

You can help change that.

With your donation, we can provide meaningful gifts, shared experiences, and small moments of comfort that remind children in care that they matter - not just at Christmas, but every day.

Because every child deserves to feel safe and valued.
