Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has already supported this year’s Silent Santa Appeal. Gifts are arriving, slowly, but steadily, and each one will delight a local child this Christmas.
If you’re considering contributing, we’d be grateful to hear from you sooner rather than later. Early notice helps us avoid working late into the final days of the Appeal, and ensures every gift reaches its destination in time.
As Christmas draws near, we’re reminded of the simple purpose behind Silent Santa: to bring joy to the little ones.
We know this year has been difficult. Rising living costs are stretching even the tightest household budgets so families in our community are facing a Christmas morning without a single gift beneath the tree.
That’s why I’m writing again, gently, to ask those who haven’t yet donated to consider supporting the Silent Santa Appeal.
This isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about quiet kindness. It’s about making sure as many local children as possible receive a gift that brightens their day. A modest present, thoughtfully chosen, can rekindle the magic of Christmas for a child and, remind a struggling parent that they are not alone.
Whether it’s a toy, a donation, or simply spreading the word, your support will make a real difference. You may never meet the child, hear their thank you, or see their face light up. But know this: you will have made someone’s Christmas morning truly special.
Thank you for being part of this quiet, powerful act of kindness.
Gerald & Ruth.
