Christmas Complete 2018

Christmas Complete 2017 (2)Thank you for your interest in supporting our annual toy project. 

In December 2018 we were able to provide a parcel of toys and gifts for 1824 children and young people ranging from babies up to 17 year olds.

This year we have dealt with referrals for families living in Southampton, Winchester, Eastleigh, Basingstoke, Fareham, Gosport, Farnbourgh and many other areas across Hampshire.

So we can continue helping everyone referred to us we need donations of both gifts and money.

  • Keep the project running - premises hire, vehicle hire, fuel and admin costs.
  • Enable us to purchase gifts when we have shortages for particular age groups

Support us by donating gifts: -

  • Age relevant toys
