We want Christmas to feel like Christmas for every child.
Through Believe in Magic, we help local families facing financial hardship create the kind of moments many of us still remember from our own childhood - the excitement, the surprises, and the feeling that, for a little while, Christmas really is magic.
Giving Tree Baubles
Pick a bauble. Make a child’s Christmas magical.
Our Believe in Magic Giving Tree is a lovely way to get everyone involved.
Pop the baubles on your Christmas tree and let people choose one. Each bauble suggests a gift a local child might love - cosy pyjamas, a brilliant book, a toy, hot chocolate, a selection box. The kind of things that make Christmas feel properly Christmassy.
Choose a bauble, buy a gift and return it to us by 9 December. We’ll make sure it finds its way to a child who may otherwise go without.
And if you don’t have a Giving Tree nearby, you can still download a bauble for a little inspiration on what to buy.
If you’d like printed baubles for your business, school or community space, email pauline@abernecessities.co.uk.
Make A Donation
Want to help, but life is already quite full on?
We totally get it.
You can still be part of Believe in Magic without organising a collection, rallying the office or adding another thing to the never-ending to-do list.
Make a donation or choose something from our Amazon Wish List, and we’ll take it from there.
Partnerships
Want to play a bigger part?
There are lots of ways to get involved with Believe in Magic this Christmas - from donating and volunteering to becoming one of our campaign partners.
For businesses looking to do a little more, our partnerships are a chance to support more local children, bring your team into the campaign and help make more Christmas magic happen.
Already shopping online? Make it count twice.
If you’re buying presents, party bits, stocking fillers or anything else online this Christmas, you can support Believe in Magic at the same time — without spending anything extra.
Sign up to easyfundraising, choose AberNecessities as your cause, and when you shop with participating brands, they’ll make a donation to support our work.
That’s it.
You shop as you normally would. We get a little extra help making Christmas magical for local children who may otherwise go without.
