Donate Gifts or Items

Help Birmingham Children’s Trust provide Christmas gifts to hundreds of children who might otherwise go without, as well as supporting young adults, new parents and families. Every carefully chosen present lets someone know they were thought of. Tell us what you’d like to offer and the Bfriends team will contact you to discuss arrangements.

Small things can add up to something wonderful.

We’re particularly grateful for:

Wrapping paper, gift bags and sticky tape
Sweets, chocolates and small hamper items
Stocking fillers for children and young adults
Toiletries and personal-care gift sets
Craft and activity sets
Small homeware items for care leavers setting up a new home and new parents
Gift cards

A few rolls of wrapping paper or a handful of stocking fillers might not feel like much. When people across Birmingham each contribute a little, together we can create something wonderful.
