Christmas is a time for giving – and if we truly embrace its spirit, that extends beyond simply gifting to our loved ones. As we celebrate this season, we are reminded of the many challenges facing people around the world. Wars continue to rage in Ukraine and the Middle East; closer to home, the cost of living crisis has contributed to a 15% rise in rough sleeping in the UK, with 15.5% of British adults experiencing mental health challenges. Additionally, the ongoing climate crisis reminds us that the natural world needs our attention and support more than ever.

This Christmas, consider extending your generosity to those in need. Whether through volunteering or Christmas charity giving, even small acts can make a meaningful difference. Purchasing holiday cards directly from charities is a simple yet impactful way to spread seasonal joy while supporting important causes. By doing so, you can send messages of peace, love, and goodwill twice over – both to your recipients and to those who need it most.
