Become a Secret Santa

This Christmas, vulnerable children in Scotland need a Secret Santa more than ever.

Every child’s Christmas should be full of excitement, warmth and laughter.

But for many children, this year will be very different. Thousands of children and young people face Christmas without a hot meal, a present or a safe place to sleep. The pandemic has had a devastating impact on their lives.

Action for Children are working hard to change this and need your help.

Be a Secret Santa for a vulnerable child.

This Christmas, vulnerable children in the UK need a Secret Santa more than ever.

Every child’s Christmas should be full of excitement, warmth and laughter. But for many children, this year will be very different.

Before coronavirus hit, more than 4 million children in the UK were locked in poverty. That’s the equivalent of nine children in every school class of 30.

Be a Secret Santa and you could make sure more children and young people have a hot meal, a present or a safe place to sleep.
