​​We would be honoured to hear your story.

​

Every time someone shares their experience, a little more light is cast on the work of the Night Before Christmas Campaign.

​

Your words bring the heart of our work to life. They help us see the moments of warmth, relief, and joy that a Red Bag can bring to children, families, and our wider community. They remind our volunteers why they give their time so generously, and they help us show supporters just how extraordinary the impact of kindness can be.

​

Share whatever feels right for you. A few lines or a longer reflection. A moment you remember or a feeling that stayed with you.

​​

You can tell your story anonymously if you prefer, and you will always have full control over how it is used.

​

Some people choose to let us share their words publicly to raise awareness so we can reach even more people who may need a little magic at Christmas. Others simply want to let our volunteers, the Elves, know the positive difference their care and generosity have made.

​

However you choose to share your story, your voice matters, and we are deeply grateful for every story entrusted to us.

​

Thank you for taking the time to reflect on your experience. Your voice not only helps us grow, learn, and improve, it strengthens the campaign and keeps the joy spreading where it’s needed most.

​

Your story becomes part of ours.

Important: We ask that you refrain from sharing sensitive personal information about other people without their permission.
