Keys Group are proud to be raising money this festive period through a range of festive activities, supporting two incredible charities whose work makes a real difference. All money raised will be split equally between Save the Children UK and the Smiling Families Charity.

Please give what you can when taking part—whether as an individual, a service, school, or department. Every penny will make a difference, and Keys Group will match the total donations up to £250!

Please ensure all donations are made by 15th December.

Save the Children UK – Our Festive Jumper Week will take place in Halesowen from 4th–11th December, but we’re encouraging all our schools, homes, and services to take part throughout December. Simply pop on your festive jumper, snap a photo, and share it on Circle using #FestiveJumper. Save the Children work to ensure every child has access to education, healthcare, protection, and emergency support.

Smiling Families Charity – Donations for toys that will help with their mobile grotto service.

This small West Midlands-based charity, run entirely by volunteers, supports families nationwide affected by serious or terminal illness or disability. They provide outings and activities so families can spend quality time together during extremely challenging times.

For Christmas, they are arranging mobile grotto Santa visits to the homes of families who are too ill to travel, bringing Santa, his elves, a mystery special guest mascot, and magical gifts. They are also hoping to host a Christmas party for young carers and under-12 wheelchair users.

As a very small charity, they rely on support to make this possible. Donations will go directly towards buying gifts for the families they visit. This year, they’ve been asked to visit double the number of families from last year—and they are determined to make it happen.. More information and updates are available on their Facebook page
