Support a family in need this Christmas
Monmouthshire Housing Association is running a gift card appeal for local families whose children wouldn’t otherwise receive a gift this Christmas. With the support of our generous community, we can provide gift cards to families with children aged 0-18 who may otherwise struggle with the financial pressures of the festive period. The gift card appeal acknowledges that every child has different needs and interests, so provides parents with the opportunity to choose the perfect gift.
Let’s give parents the gift of empowerment, and children the gift of choice this Christmas.
There are two ways you can donate:
-

Purchase a physical gift card/card – please kindly donate gift cards in denominations of £5 or £10.We accept UK Gift Cards from various retailers, including Supermarkets, Amazon, B&M and online toy retailers.

Donate via PayPal:

The power of your gift
Let’s hear from families who we have supported in previous years’ appeals:
Last year MHA were a huge help to my family during the Christmas period. We were struggling financially as most families were but with MHA’s support, we were able to give our 5 children a truly magical Christmas.
They were very excited and myself and my wife were and still are incredibly grateful. It was an overwhelming help. It was also our first Christmas as a family so the memories will forever be cherished.
