Christmas Appeal 2019 – Thank you so much!
We wish you a very Happy New Year!
A decade has ended and another one begins and as we draw the curtains on a purposeful 2019 we look forward to achieving more in 2020.
At the heart of Giving World, we put the UK's most vulnerable people first.
With your generous support in 2019, together we redistributed 1,109,615 products, entirely brand new surplus to 356,594 vulnerable people across the UK - this saved businesses a combined 6,853.6 tonnes of CO2e emissions from landfill.
We had an incredible response in support of our Christmas appeal, thank you for all of you who made this happen. With your help we provided gifts for vulnerable children in the UK, especially those that are living in temporary accommodation, so they would have a present to open on Christmas morning.
We reached over 30,000 children, bringing a smile to their faces and making a very special Christmas that would otherwise not have been experienced.
Children were appreciative and very grateful for the gifts they received.
Thank You!

Millions of families and children will start this year with unimaginable challenges, from poverty and neglect to poor mental health, and related issues – these lives have been stolen by poverty.
