Secret Santa with a difference
Rather than buying gifts this year, you could run an alternative Secret Santa with your team to help care leavers and families in need of a helping hand this Christmas.
Get your team involved with Alternative Secret Santa this year!
Why not swap that £5 bath kit for a donation to save waste and make a difference to people in your community going through a hard time?
Christmas is the perfect time to get your team together and do something good. Together Trust’s Alternative Secret Santa is your chance to swap the unwanted gifts and awkward exchanges for Making Christmas Easier for a family going through a hard time.
How it works
Instead of each buying gifts, you can pool the money towards buying vouchers for care leavers and families in need of a helping hand this Christmas.
Simply get your colleagues together, set an amount to put in each and then click the button below to buy vouchers that can be used for food and gifts for the amazing people that we support.
“Christmas can be a really challenging time for some families, and we know that for young people who have left care, it may be their first ever Christmas by themselves. Being able to buy vouchers that they can use for food or gifts helps make the day that bit easier, and most importantly, it means that know they’re that not alone.”
Lucy, Head of fundraising at the Together Trust
Hear from our HR team who ran an Alternative Secret Santa
“Knowing that a young person we support may enjoy the festive period a little more due to our contributions – is to me – what it should be about. I will continue to donate to the Trust’s Christmas Appeal and would really urge others to do the same.”
– Meg, HR team member
