The 2022 appeal is now closed. We are incredibly grateful for everyone’s generosity that enabled us to raise more than £80,000 and provide presents to more than 16,000 children across London. We wish you all the very best for 2023!
Working in partnership with The Childhood Trust, the 11th Met Commissioner’s Christmas Appeal brings the public and police together to help children this Christmas. Our aim is to provide gifts for children who may otherwise not receive one. This includes those who are in care or hospitals, and refugees.
This year will be a particularly challenging Christmas with many families facing a cost of living crisis. Therefore, we expect to have more demand than usual. Your support is even more vital. So please consider buying a present or making a donation at the link buttons below.
