Alcedo Care Supporting Cash For Kids Mission Christmas

We are very excited to be welcoming an extremely important guest to our branches at the beginning of December!

Father Christmas has been in touch with us and has said he would love to come and say hello to the young families of our carers and service users across the North West. He’ll be visiting each of our Alcedo Care branches to spread some Christmas cheer, along with our feathered friend Al who is stepping in for his elves.

Father Christmas’s sleigh is in the elf’s workshop so they can make sure it’s serviced and passed its MOT ready for the big day, so Father Christmas will be using our amazing events vehicle, transformed into a grotto worthy of the big man himself.

The Grotto will be visiting branches on the below dates:

What is the Mission Christmas Appeal?

Cash for Kids is a great charity that aims to give children a magical Christmas even if they come from a disadvantaged background, and their Mission Christmas appeal aims to ensure every child is able to wake up to a present under their tree, whether that be toys, toiletries, underwear, socks or clothing.

How can I get involved?

There are a couple of ways you can help children in your local communities this Christmas. The first is to donate to Cash For Kids using this link, no matter how small, every little bit helps. Alternatively, you can bring along a gift donation to our Santa’s Grotto when it visits your branch. It can be something small or something bigger, anything you think a child would be pleased to unwrap on Christmas day. Cash4Kids have said they especially need gifts for babies and teenagers this year – here are some ideas for gifts for all age groups:
