Wellington Place Christmas Campaign supporting Yorkshire Children’s Charity  

This year Wellington Place will be supporting Yorkshire Children’s Charity and its Christmas campaign through a range of festive activities. 

Yorkshire Children’s Charity is a local organisation on a mission to make things better for children and young people living at a disadvantage, now and for their future. The charity’s work aims to support happier, healthier, and more independent children and young people who are empowered to meet their unique potential and have the most fulfilling future possible.  

During November and December, Wellington Place will be hosting a number of events and activities to support the charity’s ongoing work, as well as raising vital funds for its Winter Support Campaign, ensuring as many children and young people as possible wake up with gifts to open on Christmas morning.  

Want to get involved? Find out how you can help support Yorkshire Children’s Charity this Christmas below…

Star donations
Look for the star tags on Christmas trees throughout Wellington Place—in the receptions of buildings 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12, as well as Wellington Central. Each tag features a QR code, making it easy to donate towards a gift for a child in need this festive season. Every star includes details about one of the children your contribution will support, along with their Christmas gift wish.  

Christmas present collections
As well as monetary donations, Wellington Place will be collecting unwrapped gifts at Wellington Central (6 Wellington Place) for anyone who would like to purchase a physical gift for a child. These will be donated to Yorkshire Children’s Charity and distributed amongst its charity partners for children in need in the local area. Take a look below for gift suggestions:
