Christmas Appeal 2024

Support people seeking sanctuary in Calderdale this Christmas.

We need your help to provide gifts for 500 children, women, and men who are seeking asylum and refuge. All are part of the St Augustine’s Centre family. Read below to discover how you can help spread festive joy within our community.

Donating and supporting our Centre Members this Christmas:

We will be giving a new gift to our Centre Members because we believe everyone should experience a sense of belonging at Christmas. Instead of purchasing and delivering a gift, you may choose to contribute to our Christmas appeal. By donating, your funds can make an even greater impact.

We recently asked our Centre Members, ‘if they could receive a gift what kind of present they would most like?’:

  • Winter socks, gloves or a scarf (Donate £5) 🧤
  • Child’s colouring book and crayons (Donate £5) 📖
  • Strong umbrella (Donate £10) 🌂
  • New toiletry gift set (Donate £10) 🧴
  • ASDA voucher (Donate £15) 🛒
  • Medium sized backpack (Donate £15) 🎒

If you would like us to buy and wrap a present on your behalf, click here or scan the QR code to make a donation. We will send you a photo from our busy Santa’s Grotto to say thank you.

Of course, you are always welcome to bring your own gifts to us. Our donation collection point is open from Monday 4th November to Monday 2nd December. Please drop off your items at our Activities Building reception; we are open Monday to Thursday, from 9 am to 4 pm.

You can also drop off your gifts at the following donation points in Calderdale:

We are seeking bulk gifts from larger businesses or organisations interested in hosting a gift drive. Please get in contact if you are interested.

If you have any questions, get in touch with our Chief Elf Elsa.
