Give Beyond Your Family This Festive Season With Charity Aid Gifts
Nov 15, 2018
The festive season always brings to mind a pile of gifts under the tree or, better yet, in the arms of loved ones. There is something truly fulfilling about treating friends and family to something special, especially during this time of the year. While you may be fortunate enough to enjoy the holidays with those close to you, indulging in Christmas meals and swapping gifts, not everyone is as lucky. This thought is usually accompanied by feelings of sadness, but this year it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to these charity gift organisations, you can spread your holiday spirit across the world to those in need without making a dent in your budget.
As a parent company to 20 independent organisations, Oxfam is passionate about helping those burdened by poverty. They provide their assistance to people across the world and allow individuals to donate by means of purchasing gifts online. Currently on offer are gifts like food, education packages and farming kits, which feature discounts of up to 15% and are sent to people in the country of your choice to help change lives.
Christian Aid is a charity gift organisation that allows you to purchase a selection of items needed in less fortunate areas. Once you have made your purchase, Charity Aid delivers it to a family and then sends a gift card to a person of your choice to share your good deed with them and help spread the generosity of giving the gift of survival to people around the world. With discounts and regular sales, your gift budget won’t even notice the extra present.
Present Aid forms part of Christian Aid, making them very similar in practice, and sells a variety of daily essentials needed by those in impoverished areas. You can purchase health kits, water safety equipment and farm animals for as little as £4. The gift you purchased will then be given to a family in need.
As a leader in researching cures for cancer, Cancer Research UK sells a range of items at low prices, of which all profits are used to fund their research programs. Their products include cancer care items, gift cards, wedding favours and festive flower arrangements which you can send to your loved ones while supporting this crucial cause. With discounts of up to 50%, everyone can afford to make a difference.
The Royal British Legion is dedicated to supporting Armed Forces veterans and their families. One way they achieve this is through their gift options from partners like Marks & Spencer, Gardman and Apta. The variety of products can be purchased in memory of loved ones and are often sold at discounts of up to 40% and more, with all profits donated to the Legion cause.
The Poppy Shop is part of The Royal British Legion and sells items like badges, pins, clothing, jewellery and home gifts. All profits are donated to The Royal British Legion and products are often put on sales of up to 70% off selected items to make your charity efforts all the more affordable.
