The Right Christmas Appeal

Somewhere in the 2000's we decided we’d had enough of Christmas. Christmas as we knew it, anyway.

Full of stress and consumption and desperately short on peace and charity.

 

We decided to do two things – slow down a bit and choose to opt-out of a few things we really don’t need to do, creating space and saving cash, and then give to a community who really need a present at Christmastime.

​

People have simplified the way they celebrate Christmas, and others have put on fun fundraising events to support our efforts. To date, we’ve raised over £30,000 to GIVE AWAY at Christmastime and we’re all agreed that our experience of Christmas is all the better for it.

​

We alternate between supporting home projects and overseas projects.

​

We have supported the Gulshan Literacy Project working with street kids in Dhaka, Bangladesh and then the Aberdeen Cyrenians, who work with the homeless in our own city.

 

We have supported New Life Homes Trust, who rescue abandon newborn babies in Kenya and then the Aberdeen Street Pastors.

​

We have recently supported the Moderator's Challenge providing solar lamps for kids in Malawi and Aberdeen Foyer as part of Prince William's Homeward initiative. 

​

Look out for ways you can get involved, and help us celebrate a Right Christmas.
