Glasgow’s Spirit of Christmas aims to support children throughout our communities suffering from financial hardship, or living in poverty, by providing Shoebox Gifts or Christmas Gift Bags filled with presents and treats, to children who would not otherwise receive any gifts or very much this Christmas.

Help us include every child at Christmas and give them a magical experience and cherished memories to last a lifetime.

Through Glasgow’s Spirit of Christmas, Our Lady of the Missions has been paired with Renfrewshire Women’s Aid to provide all the gifts they need for the children they support.

A number of parents have already pledged their support but there are still plenty more children needing our help.  I would like all the children to receive a gift package or shoe box containing a ‘big’ gift worth around £10 – £15 plus 4 or 5 smaller stocking type items: selection box, colouring book, ball, gloves, hat, toiletries for example.  You can either donate a new item, from a sweet treat to a toy, or a whole package containing several items.  All donations will be much appreciated.

If you wish to help:
