Firm foundations are what we all need in life. Sometimes the ground beneath us is just not solid enough. Our brothers and sisters in Ukraine are enduring anything but solid ground.

Ukrainian teenagers are facing overwhelming emotional challenges – poverty, abandonment, and now the trauma of war. Without emotional support, they risk becoming a “lost generation,” unable to cope with trauma or
envisioning a positive and uplifting future. Our new project, Finding Steady Ground, will provide practical tools to help them manage stress, cope with loss, and rediscover hope and joy. We pray that 2026 will be a transformative year for these young people. There is a special matched funding for this project on 2nd December ONLY. On that day you can use this link to make your donation go even further.

Perhaps like me, Christmas is rushing towards you at an even faster rate than other years. I for one have still not got my Christmas cards nor I have I begun to think about what gifts to buy! Fortunately, we have plenty of cards in stock, and even first class stamps. Plus, our “12 Days of Giving” gives me a wonderful opportunity to spread the joy of giving with thoughtful and meaningful gifts which will transform children’s lives.

We are all too aware that times continue to be hard for many, and so we are more than ever thankful for every single gift or purchase made. We know each is made with a deep and spiritual love for the children, young people and families served by our partners. Thank you so much.

From us all, we wish you the most blessed and peaceful of Christmases.
