We really need your help to give local children from struggling families a happy and memorable Christmas.  

Families across Manchester and Salford will come to Wood Street Mission to choose gifts for their children from the selection we are donated by our supporters.  

We will be accepting Christmas donations until Monday 9th December 2024. Please try to get yours to us as early as you can, to enable us to help as many families as possible. 

You can also download our Christmas Appeal flyer and our Gift Ideas List. We have a Give Today List too! 

All of our services are free for families to access, so if you think you may need help this Christmas please visit our For Families page. Or ask someone supporting your family to visit our For Referrers page.
