For a child in care, Christmas can be a difficult time for many reason’s including potentially being separated from siblings and unable to spend time celebrating with family.
To help bring some magic and the spirit of Christmas we are committed to donating Christmas gifts and chocolate stockings to as many children in care in Western Australia as possible.
We want to help promote their sense of self-worth and show them the wider community care for them and their futures.

In 2024, Santa Claus and his elves delivered presents to more than 6,000 children and young people in out-of-home care and in family support cases for Christmas. Read more!
