DONATE

When you give an Angel Tree gift at Christmas time, you remind a child with a parent in prison they are loved and not forgotten.

Each Christmas across the country, thousands of children unwrap Angel Tree gifts – presents given to them on behalf of their mum or dad in prison who don’t have the means to do so themselves while inside.

It’s a ministry made possible through our partnership with hundreds of churches and thousands of volunteers – and your generous donations. As well as bringing joy to kids on Christmas morning, your Angel Tree gift helps maintain the special connection between a child and their mum or dad, letting children know their parent still loves them and is thinking of them.

Very much part of the story, inmates themselves nominate their children for Angel Tree, sharing their child’s age, interests and suggested gifts. And the impact doesn’t stop with the kids – your support deeply touches parents and carers, letting them know they are not facing this difficult season alone.

Testimonials

“I want to thank you for the wonderful presents my children received... To be honest, I was not sure what to expect when I signed up. But when I rang home, I had my four children joyfully shouting down the phone about how much they loved their Christmas presents and cards from me. This call brought me to tears. ... Thank you for bringing joy, excitement and most of all normality at such a challenging time for us all.”

"Getting something like that from Dad meant the world. It made Christmas more normal for us even though Dad wasn’t there. It made us feel like every other child receiving gifts at Christmas time.”

“Feeling like you are not forgotten and feeling like you are an actual person who is loved makes all the difference to a child. But when I did get the presents from Dad, it helped us feel closer to him when he was in jail. It really just made a difference in our lives.”
