Help Us Support This Year's Santa Appeal

Help Us Support This Year's Santa Appeal

We are working with the local authority and other partners to fundraise for Christmas gifts for vulnerable children and young people.

Residents and businesses throughout Bridgend County Borough are being invited to help bring joy to vulnerable children and young people this Christmas by supporting the Santa Appeal.


After last year’s remarkable success, Bridgend County Borough Council’s Social Services and Wellbeing department is once again coordinating the annual fundraising appeal, collecting toys and gifts for those who may not otherwise wake up to a present on Christmas morning.


Cash donations are preferred for the purchase of suitable presents for children and young people from birth to 21 years of age. It could even be a team fundraising effort, by holding a cake sale at your workplace, or a sponsored walk. Making a donation is simple, you can give online at Awen’s Just Giving page


If you would prefer to give a gift donation, please deliver your new gift, which must be unwrapped in a gift bag to the following designated drop-off points between Monday, November 24 and Friday December 4, 2025:


  • Civic Offices, Bridgend 

  • Pyle Library

  • Maesteg Library

  • Porthcawl Library

  • Pencoed Library

  • Aberkenfig Library
