We would like to thank everyone who has so generously supported us over the festive season in the past, and those who are looking for a way to support us this year.
The best way to help us make Christmas special is to donate to our Christmas voucher fund. Mums know best what will make their children's Christmas dreams come true, and this is the perfect way to give people the choice about what presents to buy. All of the money donated to the fund will be used to buy vouchers for those using our services and won't be used for any other purpose. Recipients will be able to choose which shop they would like their voucher to be for, to make sure they can get exactly the right thing to give their family some Christmas magic.
We know that some people prefer to go out and buy lovely gifts instead of donating to us at Christmas time, and we greatly appreciate this too.
Here is our Amazon Wish List:

Please remember: at this time of year we are only able to accept new, unused items. We ask for items to be given to us UNWRAPPED as we need to check all donations before passing them on. If you want to gift wrap your donations, please wrap them loosely or put them in a gift bag that we can reuse. Due to staff capacity, we will need to make an appointment for you to drop off items at our office in central Cambridge - please contact Alex via email at Alex@cambridgewa.org.uk to arrange this.
