ASV Christmas Gift Appeal 2025!

14 Oct 25

Our 2025 Christmas Appeal is now live as we bring the magic of Christmas Day to local Tameside families and children in genuine financial hardship this Christmas.

 

Our appeal has been running now for over 5 years and each year we bring the magic of Christmas Day to over 50 Tameside families who, without your donations and support, would face a Christmas Day where their children would not experience the magic of waking up to Christmas presents and the happiness that every child deserves to have.

 

Each year our appeal goes directly to Tameside families who are in desperate need of this support. For those who donate and support our appeal know that they have helped a Tameside family and some of our most vulnerable children wake up to the magic of Christmas Day morning that Every Child Deserves regardless of circumstance.

 

 

How Our Appeal Works:

  • We work closely with our local secondary and primary schools who through their pastoral and family liaison teams identify key families who are in need of our support this year.
  • We then launch our appeal asking our community to support our appeal through a number of ways from gift donations to financial donations.
  • All donations must be dropped off by Thursday 11th December.
  • We then allocate donations to each of the identified families with the aim of 4-5 presents per child including the family siblings.
  • This year we will also be offering to identified families gas and electric top up meter key funds to ensure the family has heating over the festive period as for some families there is a high risk that this may not be the case without our support.
  • All donations allocated and wrapped are then delivered directly to our partner schools so their pastoral and family liaison teams can arrange collection of the children's presents in time for Santa to do his deliveries on Christmas Eve.

 

How To Support Our Appeal:

  • You can go and buy children's gifts and bring them into Astley Sports Village reception.
  • Gifts purchased need to be brand new as we are unable to accept second hand or used donations.
  • You can make a financial donation paid via bacs where we will purchase gifts on your behalf. Bacs details are below.
  • Everyone can support the appeal by sharing our social media posts and website link across their social media pages to raise awareness.
