Secret Santa with Action for Children 

The dreaded work Secret Santa’s have really taken the fun out of them for most, but for some, it can mean the whole world. Action for Children is asking the public to take action and become a Secret Santa for a vulnerable child in need. Their mission is to protect and support today’s youth.

Action for Children’s research shows and website states that “more than four million children in the UK were locked in poverty. That’s the equivalent of nine children in every school class of 30.” This Christmas why not help children and young people have a hot meal, present or safe place to sleep by donating to the Action for Children’s Secret Santa campaign. Donations can be as small as £10. That small contribution could cover the cost for a child to visit Father Christmas!
