Giving Tree Spreads Smiles

Heart FM have helped YLF get into the Christmas Spirit with Bluewater's Giving Tree!

YLF will be able to spread joy and smiles to very disadvantaged children across Kent this Christmas because of the very generous shoppers at Bluewater.

Many of the young people in need that we support will not have the picture-perfect heap of presents that others may see under the Christmas tree this year. So it delights YLF that we can put a smile on the faces of these children by delivering presents from Disney toys, helicopters and Christmas games!

YLF staff and volunteers have already started delivering to families we directly support and to the teams of professionals we work with who will deliver on our behalf to those in need.

"I have tears in my eyes watching the children at the nursery opening their gifts. I cannot thank you enough for supporting and making these children feel special." Jane, Children's Nursery in Ashford

"I'm really pleased that you are able to help my young person, you really are a star!. Many thanks, it will mean an awful lot to him." Shelley, Early Help Team in Tonbridge

"Charlie, Becky, Maisie and Danny wanted me to contact you and say thank you personally. They were so happy and a great big smile come up on Danny's face. It was lovely to see. Thank you for all your support for the children." Lisa, Family Liaison Officer in Folkestone

YLF will continue to deliver throughout the weekend and next week to ensure that children receive their gifts before Christmas.

A huge thank you to Donna and Georgia, our volunteers, who willingly helped to wrap the 100+ presents we have! And thank you to the Heart FM team and all who kindly donated a gift under Bluewater's Giving Tree..

..Thank you for making Christmas truly magical this year!
