The Salvation Army International Christmas present appeal 2017

Until mid-December, many Salvation Army centres across the UK will be running a Christmas Present Appeal.

Please support your local Christmas Present Appeal by finding your nearest appeal and donating new unwrapped toys and gifts for children who might not otherwise receive a Christmas present.

The gifts will then be wrapped and distributed to those in need.

How to find your local appeal

To find out where to donate your gift or for more information on the Christmas Present Appeal please contact your local Salvation Army. You can find your nearest Salvation Army centre by using our postcode and place search map page. Please note that not all our centres run the appeal every year.

Suggested Gift List for Children and Young People

We believe every child deserves a new gift for Christmas so we are unable to take used or second-hand items for the Christmas Present Appeal.

 

  • 0-3 years:  dolls, teddy bears, cot mobiles, baby clothes, bath toys, CDs of suitable music and nursery rhymes, puzzles
  • 3-5: dolls and action figures, cars, lorries, DVDs and CDs (music and nursery rhymes), colouring sets, pencils, crayons, books, puzzles
  • 5-9: educational games & toys, stationery (colouring sets, pencils, crayons, school sets), CDs & family friendly DVDs, books, puzzles, word search, crosswords
