🚨 This is AberNecessities' hardest year yet, and we are in desperate need of your help. 🚨 Applications are flooding in, and our stock is depleting faster than we can restock it. Local children are going without, and we are doing everything we can to bring a sprinkle of Christmas magic. But we can’t do it alone. We need: - Pyjamas for all ages - Socks - Gifts and selection boxes - Gadgets and toys - Vouchers for teenagers - You name it, we need it. The demand has never been greater, and local families are counting on us to ensure their children don’t miss out on the excitement and joy of Christmas—because no child should go without.

✨Be Part of the Magic! ✨ Okay, we'll admit it... we've already been listening to Christmas songs (yes, Mariah is playing on repeat, don’t judge us!). Our Believe in Magic Christmas campaign is here, and we’re working hard to make sure every local child in need has a magical Christmas. This year, we’re asking businesses to sponsor a Christmas Eve Box (or a few hundred) – filled with everything a child needs for a memorable and sparkly Christmas. From toys and books to treats and warm, cosy items, we’re doing everything we can to make sure no one misses out. It's so EASY for your business to help! Whether it’s donating items or sponsoring the campaign, we want to hear from YOU. Drop us a message and let’s make this Christmas one to remember! 💜 #BelieveInMagic #NoChildShouldGoWithout #AberNecessities #community

✨ This year's John Lewis Christmas advert has truly touched our hearts, especially with its focus on siblings, memories, and the magic of shared Christmases past. The bond between siblings, the laughter, the little traditions and yes, even the occasional sibling squabble—are what make Christmas so unforgettable, creating memories that last a lifetime. No child—and no sibling—should go without the joy, warmth, and wonder of Christmas morning. With your support, we can make sure brothers, sisters, and all children across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire wake up to the same excitement and magic on Christmas Day. Please help us fill every family’s morning with the love, laughter, and a touch of pure magic this Christmas. 💜 https://lnkd.in/e4hNhP_7 And for those who haven’t seen the ad yet, we’ll just leave this here— cue the tissues! 🥹 https://lnkd.in/dutZ3t9

Here’s how your business can make a lasting difference: 🎁 Become a sponsor and directly support local children who need it most 🎄 Host a Giving Tree in your workplace with custom baubles to collect new gifts for children who might otherwise go without 💌 Make a monetary donation to fund essentials and festive gifts - https://shorturl.at/QhZCE 🎁 Retailers: donate items for our Christmas Eve Boxes, helping us fill them with cosy pyjamas, toys, and treats that create magical moments for children in need With your help, we can provide not just Christmas gifts, but memories that will last a lifetime.
