Give a child in need a gift this Christmas

0008703 sn cc web header xmas 1

This Christmas, we invite you to share in the spirit of giving by helping bring smiles to the faces of children in need supported by CatholicCare Social Services Hunter-Manning – including those living in foster care aged 0–17 – through our Giving Tree initiative.

When you make a donation, your family can collect a special ornament your child can decorate and either hang on your local St Nicholas Early Education centre’s Giving Tree or take home to display proudly on your own.

Your generosity will not only brighten a child’s Christmas morning, but will also show them they are valued, cared for, and remembered.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference, and 100% of funds raised will go directly towards gifts for children in need supported by CatholicCare.

Families are also welcome to place an unwrapped gift under their centre’s Giving Tree if they prefer. If you would like to do this, please refer to the CatholicCare Hunter-Manning Christmas Gift Guide.

Thank you for helping St Nicholas and CatholicCare make Christmas brighter for children in need within our community. Together, we can make a lasting impact and teach our own children the joy of giving.

Give a gift before 10 December to support children in need this Christmas – click here.
