How it works
Giving a child a Christmas using the Sedulo Christmas Toy Appeal couldn’t be easier! All you need to do is…
- Select a child to sponsor from our sponsorship lists
- You can select as many children as you like in as many UK cities as you like!
- Purchase gifts based on their interests, age and gender
- We recommend spending around £25-30 per child, but you can spend as much as you like as it all helps. We also top up the gifts you buy with extra presents to really make a child's Christmas special.
- Send the gifts into the Sedulo location relevant to your child
- e.g. For children based in Manchester, send to Manchester; For children based in Leeds, send to Leeds. Location addresses are on the Contact page and will be on your sponsorship confirmation email along with dates.
- Join us at our reverse Santa's grotto events
- Our Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool reverse-style grottos bring together sponsors, Sedulo team members, charities and all of our children. Parents enjoy a mulled wine and a mince pie whilst children eagerly await the arrival of Santa himself so they can give him a sack of presents to pass on to another child less fortunate than themselves (whilst also getting in a sneaky word with what's on their Christmas list this year).


And then the elves get to work...
Once all of the festivities are complete, Santa, his team of elves and our charities deliver the presents to the families the Christmas Toy Appeal supports across the UK ready for Christmas Day.
The need for the Christmas Toy Appeal this year is greater than ever, which is why we want to make it bigger and better than ever.
Without this support that you’re providing, under normal circumstances, these families will wake up on Christmas to find Santa hasn’t been to visit, so thank you in advance from ourselves and our supported charities and families.
Thank you to all of our individual & business sponsors so far...
Without your support, initiatives like the Sedulo Christmas Toy Appeal cannot happen.
A huge thank to everyone who has given a child in poverty a Christmas Day so far…
