Here are five ways you can help today: from giving hope through our Advent Appeal, to sending a World Gift that changes lives, and more - give your way this Giving Tuesday and see how your kindness can shine.

Mariam - Advent 2025

Don't wait this Advent

The violence in the Middle East has thrown lives into chaos. Many refugees – like Mariam, a 72-year-old Palestinian mother living in Lebanon - flee conflict only to find themselves living in camps with little protection from the elements. "To stay warm here, you need a river of fuel" says Mariam. You can help mums like Mariam keep safe and warm.

Share the gift of warmth

This Advent, when you’re buying Christmas gifts for your loved ones, you can help our refugee neighbours like Laila. Forced to flee her home in Palestine, Laila now lives in Lebanon, where cold nights make survival a daily challenge.

A virtual winter warmth World Gift is a thoughtful Christmas gift that provides blankets, clothing and fuel to keep vulnerable families safe and warm, a simple act of love that transforms lives.

Let’s remember that every act of love reflects Christ’s presence among us. Your gift on Giving Tuesday is more than a donation: it’s a declaration of faith, a gesture of solidarity and a sign of hope.

Let us answer Christ’s call: “I have loved you.”

Together, let’s share that love with the world #GivingTuesday.
