WELCOME TO MY CHRISTMAS WISH
My Christmas Wish is a very simple, yet special concept - we want to ensure as many children as possible receive presents at Christmas! Generous members of the public and businesses donate gifts to us that we then distribute to deserving families that would benefit from our services throughout the Rushden and Wellingborough areas. These families are identified and referred to us by both individuals and a list of partnering organisations including schools and churches in the local area, we then arrange for them to be delivered to those families ready for the big day!
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Improving Christmas for children and their parents or guardians.
We believe that no child should have a Christmas without the joy of opening presents, and no parent should be in the position of not being able to provide a present to their child, after all, it is greater to give than to receive! Working through Rushden Independent Wesleyan Church in partnership with East Northants Child Contact Services and Simpson and Weekley Estate Agents, ‘My Christmas Wish’ is a charitable programme dedicated to helping those in need at this special time of year. With the dedication of our volunteers and generosity of the local community we strive to ensure that every child’s Christmas is just that little bit better. Contact us to see what you can do to bring about positive change in your community.
