At CHICKS we believe that the simplest gifts are often the most valuable and what would be more precious than a child’s smile.

 

Right now across the UK there are thousands of children suffering abuse, living in poverty or acting as full time carers for sick parents. Christmas, a joyous occasion for most, can be the hardest time of year for many of these children who have no hope of a break from the difficult lives they lead.

 

With your help CHICKS has changed the lives of many underprivileged children by giving them the chance to play, learn and have fun. It sounds simple, but the opportunity to build happy childhood memories gives the children we help something positive to cling to when times are tough.

 

This Christmas will be really tough for thousands of children. At CHICKS we want to give 1200 of them a reason to smile next year by providing more places than ever before on our rural respite breaks.

 

With no government funding we rely solely on donations and this is why we desperately need your help.

Don't you think Rosie deserves a break?
