Whittakers Christmas Party Night 🎄

🎁 SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS 2025 🎁

This Christmas, let’s come together to share some love with children and young people in Angus. ❤️

Working alongside D&A College, Local Social Work Departments, Horizon, Women’s Aid, and 16+ Services, we have identified local children and young people who would truly benefit from a special gift this festive season. 🎁

🌟 How You Can Help:
If you’d like to give a gift, simply comment below:
👉 “I WANT TO GIVE”
If you’d like to give more than one gift, please comment:
👉 “I WANT TO GIVE [number]” (for example, I WANT TO GIVE 3)

We’ll then match you with a child or young person and let you know their age and gender so you can choose a suitable gift.

🎁 Gift Guide:
To keep things fair for everyone, we ask that each gift is around £15–£20 in value.

📦 Next Steps:
Once everyone has been matched, we’ll share details of drop-off locations.

This appeal is always supported by our amazing community and shows the true Spirit of Christmas! 🥰
