The charity, alongside Croydon Health Services, is hoping to make this year’s festive season a little brighter by sending more than 500 presents to patients spending time in hospital or receiving support from community services.
The charity is £250 short of fully funding these gifts, however.
With December 2 marking ‘Giving Tuesday’, the national day of giving, a special one-day appeal is being launched to help close the gap.
By donating as little as £5, people in the local community can fund a present for a child or vulnerable adult and help Croydon Health Charity cross the finish line.

Laura Kennedy, Head of Fundraising for Croydon Health Charity said: “Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we are almost able to reach every patient, but we need one final push.”
“We hope the Croydon community will help us make this Christmas a little brighter for everyone in our care.”
