5 Top Tips for Christmas Fundraising

Help us win £1,000 in the Jumping Santa Christmas game from Webmart. This simple game on their website is free to enter and the if you’re in the Top 5 high scores when it closes on Christmas Eve, you will win the charity of your choice (hopefully African Children’s Fund!) £1,000.
2) Send African Children’s Fund charity Christmas cards
If you’re in Oxfordshire, visit our charity shops in Faringdon, Grove or Witney to pick up a pack of 10 African Children’s Fund Christmas cards. With a range of different designs, there’s something for everyone! If you live further afield, you can also buy packs of cards from our eBay site - just search for ‘Christmas Cards’ in our shop. Order by 18th December and they should reach you in time for Christmas.
