Christmas Direct Shop

Welcome to our ‘Christmas Direct’ Shop. 

Each Christmas, our annual fundraising appeal aims to raise funds for a Christmas celebration for the children of Bethel & Joy, along with the Widows & Families we support in their communities. Each year we raise around £2000 towards this goal.

Each year’s appeal aims to provide the children and families we support with a Christmas meal and chance to celebrate together. The children have a visit from Father Christmas, and are provided with new outfits and small gifts (toys, drawing materials, games). Some families, where appropriate, are gifted items to support self-sufficiency: for example, a goat, chickens or farming tools. Our charity partners also take the opportunity to meet with families and the children, ensuring their safety and wellbeing (which can include giving access to additional provisions, employment/education support and healthcare). None of this is possible without the support of India Direct’s supporters and volunteers. 

We hope that you’ll be able to support our appeal: as always, every penny of the cost of a purchase will go directly towards changing lives. 

We offer both the opportunity to purchase a Christmas gift/celebration for each child (our ‘Christmas Direct’ card) and also the opportunity to buy our fabulous handmade charity Christmas cards – where every penny of your donation goes directly towards changing lives.

Handmade Charity Christmas Cards

Some charity Christmas cards give only 10-25% of the sale price to charity. Thanks to the generosity of a group of fabulous volunteers, we are able to provide these handmade Christmas card packs with 100% of the sale price going directly towards our charitable projects in India. Nothing on admin in the UK. 100% on projects that matter.

They come in 4 fabulous handmade packs: our hand-stitched designs (Star, Snowflake and Christmas Tree) and our classic music-inspired pack.

Christmas Direct Appeal 2023

Buying a Christmas Direct card from us provides a complete Christmas celebration for a child from Bethel or Joy Home, including those who live nearby with their families. Our Christmas Direct appeal also supports a small number of widows and older people living in poverty nearby to our Children’s Homes.

Your donation will provide a new outfit, a small gift, and a Christmas celebration – including a celebration meal for the children and their families, and a visit from Father Christmas himself! India Direct supports transport so families can spend the day together. Occasionally we are also able to provide a gift for the whole family, which will help to raise their standard of living, such as a chicken, a goat or a rice grinder).

Send a Christmas Message

Every year our sponsors send Christmas messages from the UK to India.

Over 130 children receive Christmas greetings from India Direct supporters each year – sending them stories, messages and photos. The children love hearing these stories and messages, showing the care & compassion all of our supporters show in donating to India Direct.
