The Big Fat Secret Santa appeal we’re running with NewsThump, Southend News Network, Angry People in Local Papers and Tuckered is really gathering steam now.
So far you’ve bought 3,373 presents worth more than £27,000. We think that would fill three articulated lorries!
We’re buying between 200 and 400 gifts everyday for children who would otherwise not be getting one this year.
Today you bought seven guitars, twenty radio controlled helicopters and a dozen footballs amongst other gifts.
It’s all very exciting and EXTREMELY Christmassy. BUT. We need more presents. The shocking fact is that in West Yorkshire alone about 22,000 children will wake up without a present on Christmas morning.
But what can I do, you might ask.
Go to satireaid.co.uk and buy a present that’s what you can do.
We’ve chosen a range of gifts to suit every budget.
Choose a present, buy it and the rest will be taken care of by the hundreds of volunteers who sort and distribute these gifts every year around the country.
If you can’t do that you can help us by sharing the link www.satireaid.co.uk with your friends and asking people on social media to do the same.
