Drop off points

 

The holidays should sparkle with joy – but for many families, this time of year can be tough. That’s where our Red Bags Full of Joy step in! With the help of our amazing community, we’re spreading Christmas magic to children, teenagers and vulnerable adults who need it most.

​

Each Red Bag Full of Joy is packed with thoughtful gifts, pyjamas, toys, books, toiletries, hot chocolate, sweets, hats, gloves and more.

 

For young people and vulnerable adults, think “wow” gifts like perfume, aftershave, candles, handbags, games or footballs.

 

​

How you can help

​​

  1. Choose an age group: children, young people or vulnerable adults.

  2. Pick gifts that bring smiles and sparkle on Christmas Eve.

  3. Drop them off at one of our local collection points (list below).

 

Our elves will do the rest – sorting, wrapping and delivering your gifts to families across South West Scotland.

 

Together, we can make Christmas magical. 

All locations are in South West Scotland, United Kingdom
