WSA support Christmas Present Appeal in conjunction with Save the Children

For the second Christmas running, the Welsh Sports Association (WSA) has supported the Christmas Present Appeal in conjunction with local volunteers and Save the Children.

We understand that the cost-of-living crisis is impacting everybody within our sector. However, as we feel the effects, those less fortunate than us will inevitably feel them even more. Christmas is a lovely time of year, but along with the festivities comes immense pressure for mothers, fathers and guardians living in poverty.

To alleviate this pressure for some families, the Christmas Present Appeal ensures that children less fortunate are able to open a present on Christmas morning.

The WSA was delighted to once again offer its support with the initiative, collecting donated gifts from Welsh sporting NGBs before passing them on to Save the Children for distribution ahead of Christmas.

Over 200 children were supported in total last year, with presents containing something warm, a selection box of chocolates, and a toy or book.

This year, the WSA alone collected 20 gift bags from its members with the same core items. We are immensely grateful to those who donated to the Christmas Present Appeal and supported with this incredibly important initiative.
