Family warn kids 'might not even get a Christmas card' this year

A family who donates mountains of presents to children living in poverty are worried kids might not wake up to a Christmas card this year.

In 2013, Claire Wilcox from Lydiate sat with her family and shared a heartbreaking thought with them. She said: "Can you imagine not being in a position where you could buy a child a Christmas present and they wake up to nothing".

After not being able to shake the thought, Claire and her husband, Kevin, along with their four kids started raising money to buy presents for families living in poverty in Merseyside. Each year the fundraising effort has grown, with the family being able to donate a total of 350 gifts to the Salvation Army in 2021.
