Annual Christmas Present Appeal

Each year we co-ordinate a Christmas present collection for children fr om disadvantaged areas in North Edinburgh. We provide this service in partnership with the incredible  Spartans  Community Football Academy, a social enterprise that delivers positive social impact and change through the power of people and sport. This year the need will be felt massively, as the impact of COVID continues in conjunction with a significant spike in food and fuel prices combined with the drop in Universal Credit. Many families just do not have surplus cash for their children’s Christmas presents.

Amplifi Talent has a list of children from the ages of 3 to 11 who are at risk of waking up to no presents on Christmas morning. This list will continue to grow as the weeks before Christmas draw in – we are asking our business community, once again, to help and support  Spartans  with this present collection.

How it works:

 

Please let us know if you are in a position to donate, and we can supply you with the first name and age of either a boy or a girl (perhaps you want to match up with your own children, niece or nephew’s ages), and you can either buy or order a present within the £10 – £20 price range.

Christmas Drinks!!

 

Amplifi Talent are very excited to be hosting Christmas Nibbles & Drinks on  Wednesday 8th December  at   Kingsford Business Club   (26 Dublin Street, Edinburgh). It would be great if you could pop in for a Christmas drink (or two!) whilst dropping off your present with us. Doors will open from 5pm so hopefully we will see you then!!

 

Thank you so much for your support.
