Welcome to the Christmas Sparkle Project

The Christmas Sparkle Project is run by the community for the community. We work with local charities who support families in need.

We aim to give a Christmas gift to every child aged 0-18 years living in difficult circumstances in the Taunton and Wellington community.

We want to make every child's Christmas Sparkle.

Our 2019 Christmas Sparkle Project has now finished.

The final astounding totals for Christmas Sparkle 2019:

1,471

children and young people

received just under

4,100 gifts

from Christmas Sparkle.

Thank you to everyone who donated gifts, their time, or who helped in any other way.

You have made Christmas sparkle for so many children who would otherwise receive nothing or very little. 

Gill and Candice and the team.

Donations have come from schools, businesses, groups and individuals.

Christmas Sparkle wins Citizenship Award

In April the achievements of Christmas Sparkle were recognized by this Citizenship Award, presented to us by the Mayor, Catherine Herbert at the Somerset County Cricket ground. The award acknowledges all the hard work put in by everyone who has helped. The press were present and this article appeared in the local paper. 

Special Thanks to:

My Daycare Services who are generously providing the venue for our wrapping events again, and who have done an amazing job of collecting and delivering donations. We are delighted to be in partnership with such a wonderful organisation.
