Christmas is a time for spreading joy and generosity. Which is why, every year, the team at Shorts participate in Mission Christmas, a remarkable initiative run by Cash for Kids.
In 2022 alone, this incredible project supported over 489,000 disadvantaged children and young people across the UK, ensuring every child wakes up on Christmas Day morning with a present to unwrap. For many children, Christmas can be difficult due to various circumstances, making it just another ordinary day. Luckily, Mission Christmas is dedicated to changing that narrative and guaranteeing that every child experiences the magic of Christmas.
Collectively, here at Shorts, we donated a heap of amazing gifts for children aged 0-18, including games, hot water bottles, colouring books, tech supplies, and baby toys, as well as make-up, hair and beauty products and clothing for teenagers.
We gathered them all and made our way to the Mission Christmas warehouse (Santa's Workshop), where the gifts will now be wrapped and sent across our community to reach Children.
While the deadline to gift or donate money for this year's Mission Christmas is the 18th of December, the initiative will continue year after year, just like Santa himself, so all being well, it will once again return in November 2024.
