This festive season, 1 in 4 children in Wandsworth are living in poverty – facing cold homes, empty cupboards, and a Christmas that feels anything but magical.

We believe every child deserves to experience the joy and magic of Christmas. With your support, we can bring warmth, hope, and festive cheer to families who need it most. Together we can make Christmas brighter.

Ways to support

Shop local

We’re delighted to be partnering with local bookshop, Backstory and independent toy retailer, Chalkboard on Northcote Road. Through this collaboration, customers will have the opportunity to purchase a gift for Home-Start families.

Pop into either store to choose your gift, or buy a book online [here]. All gifts will be delivered to Home-Start Wandsworth and given to a child supported by us.

Struggling for time? Why not choose a gift from our Amazon Wish List — it’s a quick and easy way to support local families.
