Our 12 Days of Christmas Fundraiser is now LIVE! Please read till the end on how to take part.

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and the planning starts way back in June as we work hard to source the best prizes possible for you to win.

Every year we try to mix things up, and this year is no different.

For 2026, we’re taking our inspiration from the spelling of “Twelve Days of Christmas” and using the letters in TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS 2026 to inspire each day’s prizes.
For example:
Day 1 – December 1st: prizes inspired by the letters T and W
Day 2 – December 2nd: prizes inspired by E and L..
Day 12 – December 12th: prizes inspired by T for Twenty and S for Six

The prize draws will take place every evening from December 1st to December 12th, with a guaranteed minimum of 2 winners every day, and sometimes even more!

A full prize breakdown will be coming soon. We’re still working behind the scenes to secure additional prize sponsorships, donations and some fantastic surprises.
If you or your business can help by sponsoring a prize or donating the cost of a prize, please get in touch. Your support could help us make this our biggest and best fundraiser yet.

And there’s an extra little bonus to get things started...

The first 35 people to enter via the donation link will be entered into a mini draw to win a Jellycat!

£12 for 12 days of prizes to www.justgiving.com/page/12-days-xmas-26

Get entering, share the fundraiser with friends and family, and help us make the 12 Days of Christmas 2026 one to remember.

50! IN 3 WEEKS!!

3 weeks today I turn 50… and if you thought I was going to quietly accept this milestone with grace and dignity, you clearly don’t know me very well!

So, consider this your official warning: the level of cheek is about to increase significantly over the next four weeks. And I’m going to use my 50th birthday as an excuse to raise some serious money for The Osborne Trust.

www.justgiving.com/campaign/emma-50k-at-50-challenge

Getting older is a privilege. A blessing. And one that not everyone gets.

We know that only too well at The Osborne Trust, because we see the devastating impact of cancer on families and the children and young people who lose their amazing Mums and Dads far too soon.

And there’s a rather personal reason this birthday is going to be a little bittersweet.

My one and only birthday wish has always been to spend my 50th birthday with my beloved Mum. Sadly, that isn’t going to happen because I lost her to this cruel disease.

So, if I can’t have my first birthday wish, I’m going to damn well try to make my second one happen.

I set myself the ambitious target of raising £50,000 in my 50th year for The Osborne Trust.

And because I may have slightly underestimated quite how much I could achieve while simultaneously running a charity, being a Mum and generally causing chaos… I’ve extended my deadline a little.

So technically, I now have until I turn 51 to get there!
You know me… go big or go home!

And then there’s my third birthday wish…
Well, I’m hoping the hubby has that one covered.
That Chanel bag? Louis Vuitton? If you’re reading this, this is your cue.

A girl can dream.

But back to the important one…
If you were thinking of wishing me a happy 50th by:
Buying me a birthday card
Treating me to a drink
Sending me flowers
Buying me a present
Sending me a “Happy Birthday!” message

PLEASE DON’T.

Instead, donate the money you would have spent to The Osborne Trust and help me get closer to my ridiculous-but-I’m-going-to-do-it-anyway £50,000 target!

Every £2, £5, £10, £20 or £50 will help us continue supporting children and young people when their parent has cancer — giving them somewhere to turn, someone who understands, and support at a time when their whole world can feel upside down.

Because 13 years ago, when I was diagnosed with cancer, I couldn’t find the support I needed for my two children.

And I made myself a promise:
No other child should have to feel unsupported when their parent has cancer, if I can do anything about it.
That promise is at the heart of everything we do.

So, if I can’t spend my 50th with my Mum, I want to make sure something incredibly positive comes from it.

Help me raise £50,000 in my 50th year(ish)!

And if you’re wondering what you’ll get in return…
Absolutely nothing. Except the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing you’ve helped a child or young person navigate one of the toughest things they may ever face.

Oh… and you’ll get to watch me become increasingly shameless about asking for money for the next four weeks.

Come on… you know you want to.

Donate. Share. Tag your friends. And help me hit £50k!

This Christmas, we want to make the festive season a little brighter for children whose parents are going through cancer treatment, children whose parent is living with incurable cancer, and children navigating the devastating loss of a parent to cancer.

I have so many plans for the families we support over the next few months, but I can’t make them happen alone.

There are lots of ways you can become an Ozzy’s Friend this Christmas. You don’t need to donate or send any money right now. Simply signing up, sharing our posts, helping us spread the word, donating an item or offering sponsorship can make a huge difference. Of course, if you would like to donate, you absolutely can. www.justgiving.com/page/all-things-trust-26-27

Here’s what your support could help us provide:

£3- helps us purchase a plaque from our Gift Station at our Christmas party, giving every child the chance to choose a little gift for their person who supported them during this time.

£10- provides a Costa, Starbucks or M&S gift card for the children to give to their favourite person at our Christmas party. You can donate £10 or purchase a £10 gift card and send it to us.

£7- helps us purchase a Christmas-themed LEGO kit for our LEGO building table at the Christmas party. You can also purchase something from our Amazon Wish List and have it sent directly to us. https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/AQICAHgv7cct2SGZ58TbNYwiFrb-8NeSw0t4jGZKtponcI7CSwFSZhclrkb2gFfrmsvSzNeyAAAAkTCBjgYJKoZIhvcNAQcGoIGAMH4CAQAweQYJKoZIhvcNAQcBMB4GCWCGSAFlAwQBLjARBAzu8ZHJjDgskCDhP2MCARCATBAOX6N7wodSMtSzvpxNKaUSv4DEzGqBfCNYuyFZMHH9EQ8WIyFGWTqPqyWmhrjHXRhl2tjn9-0qImOX3LQZyDRoWIDxY8cfsSe6W1U?ref_=wl_share

£20- sponsors a personal Christmas gift tailored to each child attending our Christmas party, based on their individual likes, interests and hobbies.

£25- helps us purchase pantomime tickets for the children we support across the UK and Northern Ireland this Christmas.

£100- helps cover the cost of the activities and services we want to bring to our Christmas party, including glitter tattoos, bracelet making, Christmas crafts and more.

£250 helps us cover the cost of food and refreshments for the children and adults attending our Christmas party.

Every donation, every sponsor, every share, every offer of help and every person who signs up to be an Ozzy’s Friend brings us one step closer to making all of these plans a reality.

These children are dealing with things no child should have to face. Christmas doesn’t take that away, but together, we can give them some moments of joy, laughter, excitement and memories that are all about being a child

So, will you become one of Ozzy’s Friends this Christmas?

This Christmas, we want the children we support to have the opportunity to choose a small Christmas gift for a special adult in their life.

These gifts are a simple but meaningful way for the children to say thank you to the people who have supported them through their parent’s cancer, while their parent is living with cancer, or as they navigate the grief of losing a parent to cancer.

For some of these children, that adult has been there through hospital appointments, difficult conversations, changes at home and some incredibly tough days. We want to give them the chance to say, in their own special way, “Thank you.”

We’re currently looking for around 20 x £10 gift cards for our Christmas Gift Table.

The gift cards we need are:

Costa
Starbucks
M&S
Could you sponsor one?

You can help by:

Donating £10 towards the cost of a giftcard

Picking up a £10 Costa, Starbucks or M&S gift card on your next shopping trip and sending it to us

Asking your workplace, friends, family or business to sponsor one

Sharing this post with someone who might be able to help

We need around 20 gift cards, and every single one will mean a child can choose something special for an adult who has been there for them during an incredibly difficult time.

It might only be a £10 gift card, but to a child who wants to give something back to someone they love, it can mean so much.

Can you help us reach our target?

If you can donate a gift card or sponsor one, please get in touch. You don't have to donate or sort today, but we can add you to our list of supporters for our very busy festive season.

We can't do US without YOU.
