A Christmas Made Possible by Community
Thanks to the generosity of our community, Maslow’s Christmas Party brought joy to local families, refugees, and asylum seekers. We raised £1,460 online and over £400 in cash, providing gifts and treats for every child.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible. 💛
At Maslow’s, we believe that every child deserves to feel special at Christmas.
For many of the families we support – including refugees, asylum seekers, and those facing financial hardship – the festive season can bring extra pressure rather than joy. Worries about money, gifts, and expectations can make Christmas a difficult time. That’s why, every year, we do everything we can to create a moment of magic.
Our annual Maslow’s Christmas Party is a chance for families to come together, relax, and celebrate. A real Santa joins us, and every child who attends receives a special gift – chosen with care, wrapped with love, and given with joy. Seeing children’s faces light up is what this day is all about.
But behind the scenes, making this happen is a huge task. Providing gifts for every child and preparing a full Christmas celebration is only possible thanks to the incredible support of our wider community. And this year was no different.
Thank you for making it happen 🎁
We are beyond grateful to everyone who supported our Christmas Appeal – whether you donated to our fundraiser, dropped off toys, shared the word, or helped in any other way. We truly couldn’t have done this without you.
Together, you helped us raise £1,460 online and over £400 in cash, going beyond our original fundraising goal. This generosity allowed us to buy plenty of toys and treats, ensuring that every child left with a smile and a gift in hand.

A very special thank you goes to our amazing staff and volunteers – our very own Christmas elves – who worked so hard to bring everything together. From organising gifts to welcoming families on the day, your care and dedication made all the difference.
Seeing families laugh, connect, and celebrate together made every bit of effort worth it.
Thank you for reminding us what real community looks like.
With much love,
