A huge thank you to Jack and Ross

Today, something really special happened.

Young Jack took on the Mighty Stride at the Kiltwalk alongside his dad, Ross — and absolutely smashed it.

For a young boy to take on such a challenge is no small thing. It takes determination, strength, and a huge heart, and Jack showed all of that and more today.

At the Night Before Christmas Campaign, we are incredibly proud and truly grateful that Jack chose to do this in support of our charity. Every step he took will help us continue to bring magic, hope, and kindness to thousands of children and families who need it most.

Ross, thank you for walking alongside him and supporting him every step of the way — what an amazing team you both are.

Jack, you should be so proud of yourself, because we certainly are.

How do we change the world?
One random act of kindness at a time.

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR HEAD ELF – JODIE! 🎉

(Yes… my daughter… so I’ve had to put
up with her bossing people about her whole life 😂)

From running around as a wee lass to now running a full army of elves… not much has changed except the size of the operation!

She’s the one who:
🎁 Makes the magic happen
📦 Knows every single red bag situation
📋 Has lists for her lists for her lists
☕ Runs on caffeine, determination & a slight control obsession 😜

Honestly… without her, we’d all just be standing about wondering where the pyjamas go and who took the sellotape!

So proud of the woman you’ve become and the kindness you put into the world every single day ❤️

Now… for ONE DAY ONLY…
🎂 you are officially allowed to sit down
🎈 stop organising everyone
🎁 and let someone else be in charge (we’ll see how long that lasts 👀)

Happy Birthday Jodie – our Head Elf, our boss, and my girl ❤️

Love,
Mum (aka Isabel – Senior Elf Supervisor 😉)

Drop a ❤️ to wish Jodie a brilliant birthday!
