Christmas in July Appeal

Sadly, we’ve noticed that young people in our support programs are the ‘forgotten ones’ during our annual Barnardos Gifts for Kids appeal each year  where toys and gift cards are donated. These youth have gone through some serious issues that young people shouldn’t have to experience, from homelessness to struggling with mental health or addiction.

Christmas in July is an early Christmas call out for gift cards for the young people supported by Barnardos to lift their spirits and show them they matter.

Together with our gift partner Prezee, we’ve made donating quick and easy for you.
A simple gift card can bring immeasurable joy to these deserving young people.

So, what are you waiting for? Dust off those ugly Christmas sweaters and donate today. Or better yet, share this with your colleagues – we have posters and QR codes to help make your internal promotion seamless.

WHAT WE SEE

We see beyond the sleepover in cars and understand the underlying issues.

After escaping family violence, a parent and their child have nowhere safe to stay and are
currently waiting for refuge accommodation.
