🚗🎄 Christmas might still feel a long way off, but for some amazing supporters, the festive season starts early! 🎄🚗

A huge shoutout to VolksMagic in Oldbury, who are once again supporting Mission Christmas through their incredible Santa's a Gangster initiative.

This year they're giving people the chance to win a modified car and more, with funds helping Mission Christmas provide gifts to local children who would otherwise wake up on Christmas morning with nothing to open.

And if that wasn't enough, they recently unveiled what is believed to be the world's largest charity shaker can... on wheels! 🚗💰 Taking it to Bristol VW Fest, they invited festival-goers to donate to the cause and leave their own colourful handprint on the car, creating a fantastic symbol of community spirit and generosity.

Every handprint represents someone helping to make Christmas a little brighter for children across the Midlands. ❤️

It's all about spreading cheer, bringing people together and making sure no child is forgotten this Christmas.

After all... Christmas will be here before we know it! 🎅✨

Did you know that 1 in 4 children across the Midlands are currently living in poverty? 📍🚸

In some of our communities, that figure is as high as 1 in 2 children. Birmingham is now recognised as the most child poverty-stricken city in the UK.

To put this into perspective, recent figures from 2025 show that child poverty affects:

▪ 43.2% of children in Birmingham
▪ 42.6% of children in Sandwell
▪ 42.3% of children in Stoke-on-Trent
▪ 38.3% of children in Nottingham and Leicester

These aren’t just stats, they represent thousands of local children growing up without access to the basics many of us take for granted. Literally half of every classroom in these communities face these realities

At Cash for Kids Midlands, we work with local schools, charities and organisations to help children affected by poverty, illness, neglect and additional needs.

Because every child deserves the chance to thrive 💙
