Goal - £800 before the 25th November

Hi, my names Brianna

And This Christmas, I’m hoping to make a difference in the lives of at least 50 children and teenagers aged 10–17/18 by creating Christmas gift boxes filled with thoughtful presents, treats and goodies.

I’m a care leaver myself, and this project means a lot to me personally. I feel that older children and teenagers can sometimes get overlooked at Christmas because they’re no longer little children, but they deserve to feel just as special, loved and remembered as anyone else. I want to help change that and make sure they know somebody has thought about them. ❤️

My goal is to raise £1,250 or more to help create at least 50 Christmas boxes, aiming to spend around £25–£35 per child. Each box will be filled with age-appropriate gifts, such as toiletries, self-care products, beauty items, gaming accessories, cosy clothing, stationery, gift vouchers, chocolate and other little surprises.

I’ll be contributing my own money and buying gifts myself, but I can’t do it all alone. That’s why I’m asking for help from the public, local businesses and anyone who would like to support this cause.

You can help by sponsoring a Christmas box! Sponsoring a box means donating £25–£35 towards one child’s box, or donating all the items needed to fill one. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help us get closer to our goal. Donations of suitable new gifts, gift boxes, gift bags, wrapping paper and Christmas cards would also be greatly appreciated.

I’m starting this project around Rochdale and the surrounding areas, and I hope that with the kindness and generosity of others, we can make Christmas a little brighter for young people who might otherwise have less to look forward to.

Every donation will help us provide more gifts, fill more boxes and reach more children. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean so much too.

My aim is simple: to help older children and teenagers feel included, valued and remembered this Christmas. No young person should feel forgotten just because they’re growing up. ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who donates, shares or supports this project in any way. Together, let’s make Christmas special for 50+ young people! ✨
