Help bring Christmas joy to local families
This Christmas, Baby Basics MK is helping families across Milton Keynes by providing gifts for those facing difficult circumstances.
With your support, we can spread a little Christmas joy.
Bringing
Christmas Joy
to Local Families
For families facing financial hardship, Christmas can be a time of added pressure and worry.
Through our Christmas Appeal, we're working with local Family Centres to provide gifts to families who need a little extra support this festive season.
Our aim is simple: to help children experience the excitement of Christmas morning, while giving parents peace of mind knowing their family has something special to look forward to.
Who we're supporting
Our Christmas Appeal supports families across Milton Keynes who are experiencing financial hardship or difficult circumstances.
While our usual services focus on babies and children up to six years old, our Christmas Appeal aims to support the whole family, including older siblings, parents and carers.
Families are nominated through local Family Centres, helping us reach those who need support most.
What's included in our Christmas Appeal?
Gifts for Children
Brand-new, age-appropriate Christmas presents for babies, young children and older siblings.
Gifts for Parents
Thoughtful gifts such as toiletries, gift sets and other small treats to help parents and carers feel special too.
Gifts for the Whole Family
Shared gifts such as board games, bringing families together to enjoy quality time over Christmas.
How the Christmas Appeal works
1. Families Are Nominated
Local Family Centres identify and nominate families who would benefit from Christmas support.
2. Our Community Donates
Individuals and businesses generously donate brand-new gifts or contribute financially to the appeal.
3. Gifts Are Distributed
Our volunteers prepare the donations, which are delivered to Family Centres between 2 and 16 December, ready to be passed on to families ahead of Christmas.
