One More Gift 2024

We need your help to provide gifts to children who would otherwise not receive a present at Christmas. 

With the amazing support of our donors, 1,147 children were provided with gifts in 2023. We are expecting even more families will be in need of support this year.

We expect up to 1,500 children will need our support this Christmas.

With your help, no child referred to us through our Christmas Referral scheme will go without a gift this Christmas!

Latest News

All the latest news from KidsBank…

A year ago, my brother lost everything in a fire in his home. Within 3 hours the police came with bags of clothes and books for the 3 younger children. My niece age 10 at the time, had been so upset to lose her 'library' she had built up, but the books you gave her were the start of her new bookshelf. She picked up a book among the chaos and disappeared in a new world you'd given her.

Thank you so much for the delivery you brought on Saturday! I couldn't believe how much there was. I'm literally introducing the potty with my daughter now too, so that book was really, really helpful and fun to read with her.

Thank you so much, this really helps us to free a little extra for the ridiculous energy prices. I really don't know how people are coping. I really can't thank you enough for everything you do. You've certainly made this season change a little bit easier on us parents.
Family Supported in 2023
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the help you've given my family by providing so much for my son! And thank you for helping me with toiletries for me and my partner. You are doing an amazing job!

One of my ladies was moved to tears by her box last week. Her little girl just kept picking up the dresses and saying, "Ooh Mummy, so pretty". Keep doing what you're doing, it's making a huge difference to so many lives.

This KidsBank is a brilliant and much-needed concept. Lots of parent groups are talking about KidsBank now - this is great! Well done on your hard work and all the very best to the families who you can work with!

I have just received my box and would like to say thank you for everything inside! Both my kids now have enough clothes until next winter! My kids love the books and toys. Thank you so much for helping.
Family Supported in 2023
I would just like to send a message of great thanks for delivering the referral for my children today. I am so very grateful for your kindness, help and support. It's brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you very much.

A HUGE thank you to your whole team for the amazing bag of new, warm bedding and hot water bottle for our lovely little 5 year old Ukrainian guest. Our family were overwhelmed when they opened the package in their new home. They were especially touched by the beautiful little extras you put in. You and your donors really do change lives.

I just wanted to say thank you ever so much for all the stuff, I'm actually crying with how kind and thoughtful you've been. Kids are happy. Thank you again from our family.

My daughter was going to be getting so many presents from family so we asked guests to make donations to KidsBank Chester instead.

You are doing a great job, ladies and we are very happy to be able to support you.
