The Original Giving Tree is back
Created as a meaningful alternative to Secret Santa, Giving Tree encourages people to either buy a physical gift or make a donation through our online shop, helping ensure that a child living in refuge receives a gift they can call their own.
Last Christmas, we gave 73,269 toys to children—but with more young lives affected by domestic abuse, your support is needed now more than ever.
If you have any questions, check our FAQ’s, or please feel free to email [email protected], and someone will get back to you.
Thank you in advance for your support,
The #OriginalGivingTree Team
Every year, around 24,000 children who have experienced domestic abuse across the UK are forced to leave behind their friends, family and familiar surroundings and move into safe accommodation, often arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs.
Receiving a gift at such a difficult time can make a bigger difference than you can imagine. The Christmas Toy Box exists because every child deserves kindness, dignity and the magic of childhood, especially during the festive season.
Thanks to your kindness and generosity, last year we were able to deliver more than 5,000 Christmas Toy Boxes to children living in refuges and safe houses across the UK. Each child received a Toy Box when they first arrived, alongside thousands of individual toys that were distributed to other disadvantaged children.
Support like this helps bring a little joy, comfort and normality to children at a time when they need it most.
