A Christmas Invitation

Magical Candlelit Christmas Concert 2020

We are delighted to invite you to join us at this year’s Candlelit Christmas Concert – Wednesday 2^nd December 2020!   Given recent events, we have decided to host a virtual concert this year via Zoom and Facebook Live. The magical atmosphere will be brought directly into your living rooms, as we ask our supporters to light their own candle to remember the children of Darfur at this time of year. There will of course still be the festive Christmas carols brought to you by the talented choir of Queens Gate School, celebrity readings, beautiful music and much more! Join us via Zoom or Facebook at 7 p.m. on 2^nd December.  Online family ticket –  minimum donation £10.  Please check our website www.kidsforkids.org.uk or email us at contact@kidsforkids.org.uk for tickets, we are determined to celebrate this joyous time of year and to raise much-needed funds for the people of Darfur.

Giving Tuesday – 1st December
If you plan to donate to Kids for Kids this Christmas perhaps wait to do it on 1st December when Global Giving will give extra money to organisations that raise the most on that day only? The more money you donate, the more money they will give us on top! So help us to raise as much money as possible – the children of Darfur need your help now more than ever. Visit: www.globalgiving.org/donate/3016/kids-for-kids/ Please don’t forget!

Christmas Coffee Morning
Are you missing your family and friends? On a chilly winter’s day why not catch up for a coffee and mince pie via video call using Skype, Facetime or Zoom? You may have seen our recent Covid-19 appeal, where we are asking for donations to help Kids for Kids purchase soap for families in Darfur? The virus has reached the villages, and we need help to keep it at bay. £20 provides 5 bars of soap to 10 families – that’s just £5 each for you and 3 friends. Have fun and help a family! You can send in your donation here or text:
