BITC - Christmas Campaign 2011

Christmas is supposed to be a magical time. But sadly, too many children in Wales will not even have one gift to open on Christmas day.

Business in the Community’s Christmas Campaign asks businesses and their employees to make Christmas brighter for more than 2,000 children who without our help, will go without.

Your gifts and contributions to this year’s campaign will provide direct support to Action for Children and other Welsh children’s charities that work with children living in poverty, in care or with special needs.

Your kind donations (suggestion £10) will ensure that these special children have a present to open for Christmas day. Working together, we’ll make a big difference to these young lives.

How you can help?

It's quick & easy to get your colleagues involved, as this year as each projects gift list is all online, which means that donations also benefit from gift aid (i.e. an extra 25%)

The first step is to choose a project and then inform the BITC representative Hannah McGillivray of your choice (if you have no preference we will be happy to allocate you a project). We will then add your company's name to the corporate supporters list below.
