It's πŸ‘πŸ– 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 until Christmas and we've had applications for πŸπŸ’πŸ’,πŸŽπŸ’πŸ– 𝐜𝐑𝐒π₯𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 - 𝐌𝐒𝐬𝐬𝐒𝐨𝐧 π‚π‘π«π’π¬π­π¦πšπ¬ 𝐒𝐬 𝐚 π†πŽ!

Our Mission is simple - we want to make sure π’†π’—π’†π’“π’š π’”π’Šπ’π’ˆπ’π’† 𝒐𝒏𝒆 of these children wakes up on Christmas morning with a present to open 🎁

Christmas Day shouldn't feel the same as any other day for them, or a day where they think they must have been naughty because Santa hasn't been to visit - it should be one day of the year where they feel like any other child - excited by the magic of Christmas ✨

π˜πŽπ” can help make this happen in one of three ways;

🎁 Buy an extra gift whilst you're out shopping, and drop it into one of our drop-off points (there's a searchable map on our website)
🎁 Make a donation or do some festive fundraising and we'll buy a gift or gifts on your behalf
🎁 You can buy a gift from our online Mission Christmas Gift List and have it delivered direct to one of our Mission Christmas HQs for free

It takes everyone doing their bit to complete a mission as big as Mission Christmas, so however you are able to help please do and let's make this Christmas special for every child πŸ©·πŸ’š

On Friday we visited the Ayrshire group of Finding Your Feet Amputee Charity. We were delighted to donate a wheelchair suitable for bowling to allow more members to access the green and enjoy a game of bowls.
It was lovely to see Cor Hutton, Gordon MacDougall and the rest of the members again. We hope you get great use out of the chair 😊

MISSION CHRISTMAS Cash for Kids West Scotland
This Christmas, many children will be living in poverty across the West of Scotland and beyond. Many are at risk of waking up with nothing under the tree because Christmas is a luxury their families simply can’t afford.

Mission Christmas is here to change that. They are getting ready to help Santa reach children who might receive nothing – making sure they have something special to open on Christmas morning.

We are supporting this appeal by having a toy drop off point in our Thistle Help Irvine showroom. If you wish to make a donation, please drop them off by Tuesday 16th December to allow time for Santa and his elves to wrap the gifts.

Thank you for your support in advance πŸ™‚
