Each year millions and millions of us save up hundreds of pounds to splash out on those ‘much needed’ Christmas presents for our nearest and dearest. It is only natural you want to see their face(s) light up on Christmas day. But have you ever thought about those who are desperate for our help?
If you really want to help someone this Christmas then why don’t you just spend a little less on a couple of presents and then donate the money you have saved to a charity of your choice?
One charity which always springs to mind is Oxfam.
Oxfam has a dedicated team of people working for them and they help so many countries which are desperate for your help. You can buy online gifts as well as sending them money to help buy things such as fertiliser, tools for farming, goats etc.
So when you get back from your Christmas shopping trip, spare a thought for those who have never received a gift in their life and send them something to help them survive.
