Get creative this Christmas with Barnardo's Crafty Kidsmas!

Christmas should be a magical time for every child. But, sadly, while many of us cant wait to join our loved ones to exchange gifts and enjoy festive rituals, thousands of children across the UK are feeling left out and left behind because of poverty, mental health issues or their family circumstances.

But, with your help we can help every child feel included in the magic of Christmas.

By getting creative for Crafty Kidsmas, you are helping spread a little bit of Christmas magic to the vulnerable children that need it most.

Thank you.
