The Night Before Christmas Campaign works to prevent and relieve poverty by providing Christmas gifts, essential items and practical support to children, young people and vulnerable adults across South West Scotland. We work with referral partners, schools, health professionals and other organisations to identify those most in need. Throughout the year we collect donations, organise fundraising events, recruit and support volunteers, purchase essential items where needed and distribute them directly to individuals and families. Our aim is to ensure that those experiencing poverty or hardship receive practical support, dignity and kindness when they need it most.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people','Older People','People with disabilities or health problems','People with a particular ethnic or racial origin','No specific group, or for the benefit of the community','Other charities or voluntary bodies'

Objectives: The organisation's purposes are: The prevention or relief of poverty through providing shoeboxes containing Christmas gifts to children living in or at risk of poverty and relieving the needs of persons who are homeless through the provision of essential items, where those children or persons are resident in South West Scotland.
