Christmas Gift Appeal

This Christmas we are asking supporters to select a gift online. This will allow our staff, foster carers and kinship carers to purchase and deliver gifts to children that match their specific needs and wishes. 

1. Select the type of gift you would like to give
2. Select whether you would like to purchase the gift from yourself, or on behalf of your someone else
3. Berry Street staff will use your funds to purchase a gift for a vulnerable child. 

Personalised gifts for these children and young people are so important in terms of making them feel special and loved, and for many of them, the gift they receive from Berry Street may be the only one they receive this Christmas.

We have moved away from the ‘traditional’ gift appeal, so that we are able to provide a personalised gift for the children and young people in our care.

It’s really important for young children, as well as teenagers, to get something from ‘Santa’ that matches their wish exactly. This helps to show children who have been through abuse and neglect that they are special and valuable. Your purchase of an online gift allows the person closest to the child  - our staff or a foster carer, to purchase that special something and deliver it on your behalf.

Funds raised will be used by our staff or carers to purchase and distribute personalised gifts to best meet the needs of children and young people in our care who have suffered from violence and abuse.

Additional funds raised will be used to assist other Berry Street programs with the greatest needs, to support these children and young people.
