Mr X Appeal 2022: How you can give presents to children who might go without this Christmas

Dedicated volunteers are gearing up to organise the donation and collection of Christmas presents for more than 5,000 disadvantaged children across south Wales, as the incredible Mr X Christmas Appeal returns for its 63rd year.

Mr X himself passed away six years ago - but left an inspiring legacy which brings people across south Wales together united in one aim: to give children from low-income or underprivileged families from across the region gifts and presents to open on Christmas Day.

Mr X's son, who in the true spirit of Christmas has asked not to be named as he doesn't want any thank-yous for continuing the appeal, took on the project following his father's death and, together with a small team of volunteers dubbed "Mr X's elves", has now launched the 2022 Appeal.
