Christmas Gift Appeal 

This Christmas, Deal Christmas Market is proud to be supporting East Kent Hospitals Charity with a very special Children’s Christmas Gift Appeal.

We understand that Christmas can be a difficult time for many families, but for some children and young people, it can be especially challenging.

This festive season, children may be spending Christmas in hospital — whether on a ward, in A&E or within another hospital facility — and may not be able to celebrate at home with their families, open presents under the Christmas tree or enjoy the magic of Christmas like other children.

🎅 That's where we want to help.

Throughout the three days of Deal Christmas Market, we'll be collecting new, unwrapped toys and gifts suitable for children and young people aged 1–18 at our festive donation station.

Our mission is simple: to collect as many gifts as possible and help bring a little joy to children who are spending part of their Christmas in hospital.

With the help of our fantastic Santa and Elf volunteers, alongside our friends at East Kent Hospitals Charity and the hospital team, the gifts will be carefully wrapped and delivered to children in hospital over the festive season. 🎁✨

🎄 WHAT CAN YOU DONATE?

We welcome new, unwrapped gifts suitable for ages 1–18, including:

🧸 Toys & cuddly toys
🎨 Arts & crafts
📚 Books
🧩 Games & puzzles
🎧 Gifts suitable for teenagers
🎁 Anything you think would bring a smile to a child this Christmas

Every single donation, no matter how big or small, can make a difference.

If you're visiting Deal Christmas Market this December, why not bring a gift along with you?

❤️ Let's come together as a community and make sure that children spending Christmas in hospital know that Santa hasn't forgotten them.
