Choose To Change A Child's Story This Christmas

As you plan your Christmas celebrations, we invite you to add a little kindness to your list. At The Kids Network, we’ve created a Christmas Giving Menu to help us support children aged 8–11 across London with our charity’s life-changing programme.

This season, you can make a real difference. Explore our Giving Menu below to see how you can support our Little Londoners with laughter, belonging, and brighter days ahead.

Christmas Cards Alternative*

Every year, millions of Christmas cards are written, sent, and before long, tucked away or thrown out. This year, why not give your message a little more meaning? By donating what you’d normally spend on cards to The Kids Network, you could help a child like Takunda enjoy weekly moments of fun and friendship with their mentor.

We’ll send you a festive e-card to share with friends, family or colleagues - a message that doesn’t end up in the recycling, but turns your season’s greetings into something lasting and life-changing.

Christmas Jumper Day*

Who doesn’t love a Christmas Jumper, and a bit of friendly competition? Host one at work, school, or with friends, and turn festive fun into real impact for children across London.

We’ll provide a QR code for easy donations from everyone who takes part, and you can crown the best (or most over-the-top) jumper with a special prize. It’s a simple way to bring people together, raise a smile, and at the same time, help a child like Helena to feel confident and dream big.

Sweeter Secret Santa*

This year, why not organise a Secret Santa for friends or colleagues with a twist?

Set a £10 budget: £5 for the present and £5 as a donation to The Kids Network, spreading a little extra joy and helping a child like Dhillon grow in confidence and happiness.

We can even provide gift card substitutions to wrap with your gift - a festive reminder that this year’s presents went just that little bit further.

Give Joy*

This time of year is all about togetherness, and too many children are missing out. Your donation can help change that, funding mentoring sessions that bring fun, connection and confidence to children who need extra support this Christmas.

£10 funds one mentoring session - a chance for a child to visit a Christmas market or try ice-skating for the first time.

£35 funds an entire month of new adventures filled with laughter and learning.

£60 funds a Group Mentoring session for up to fifteen children to play, share and build friendships.

£105 funds three whole months of support and new experiences during the winter months when there’s less for children to do, keeping them warm with a hot chocolate while playing games or trying a new craft with their mentor.

‍

Give Joy Again and Again*

We all know the best gifts are the ones that keep giving. By setting up a monthly donation, you’ll help Little Londoners like Fatima keep exploring, growing and laughing long after the decorations come down. Ongoing support means every week can bring new experiences, stronger friendships and lasting confidence, helping kids build the kind of joy that lasts all year round.
