Christmas 2023
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 Friday 8th December 2023. Please try to get yours to us as early as you can, to enable us to help as many families as possible.
Download our Christmas Appeal flyer and our Gift Ideas List here. We have an Amazon Wish 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.
