Christmas Appeal 2025

Make Christmas magical for Warrington’s young people

This Christmas, Warrington Youth Zone will be a place of hope, joy and togetherness for young people and their families who need it most.

For many in our community, the festive season can bring added pressure, the strain of rising costs, and the worry of putting food on the table. But together, we can make sure no young person feels forgotten this Christmas.

At Warrington Youth Zone, we’re creating a safe, welcoming space filled with warmth, laughter and festive cheer. With your help, we’ll make this season brighter for families across Warrington.

What we’re doing this Christmas

We’re transforming the Youth Zone into a Winter Wonderland, complete with Santa’s Grotto, festive activities, and a delicious three-course Christmas meal for vulnerable young people and their families.

Each family will also receive food and hygiene hampers, along with toys and games specially chosen for the young people.

How you can help

We need your donations to make the magic happen. Every contribution brings us closer to giving Warrington’s young people the Christmas they deserve.

Here’s how your gift could make a difference:

• £36 could provide a food and hygiene hamper for a family in need
• £50 could bring joy to two young people with Christmas gifts and wrapping paper
• £120 could help transport families to the Youth Zone for the celebration
• £500 could buy decorations and transform the space into a festive wonderland
• £1,000 could cover the cost of a full Christmas meal for 16 families
