A little gift, a lot of Christmas joy
For women and children spending Christmas in refuge after experiencing domestic and family violence, the festive season can look a little different. But with your help, we can make it that little bit brighter.
Through RizeUp's Christmas Appeal, we're asking our wonderful community to donate gifts that bring a little joy, comfort and excitement to women and children who deserve to feel special this Christmas.
And here's the lovely part: all gifts are donated unwrapped, so mums can choose something they know their children will love, and children can pick out a special surprise for their mum. It's about giving families the chance to enjoy those little Christmas traditions, from choosing the perfect present to seeing the smile when it's opened.
Because everyone deserves something special under the tree.
Checked the list twice and bought the perfect present?
