Child Welfare Chatsworth seeks community support for Christmas party for vulnerable children

IN A HEARTFELT appeal to the community, Child Welfare Chatsworth is kicking off its annual Christmas Party Sponsorship Appeal, hoping to bring festive cheer to hundreds of vulnerable children in the region.

The event is scheduled for December 6, and aims to provide a joyous celebration filled with food, gifts, and fun for 350 underprivileged children.

Over the years, this festive gathering has become a cherished tradition in the Chatsworth community. Each child is treated to a nutritious meal, a special Christmas gift, and a day filled with entertainment and safe activities.

Director Pranashen Pillay shared: “For many of these children, this celebration is the only Christmas they experience. It’s a reminder that they are seen, valued, and loved, especially during a time that can be difficult for families facing hardship. We rely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners to make this possible.”

To make this event a success, Child Welfare Chatsworth is appealing for monetary donations, gifts, and sponsorships that will cover the costs of meals, treats, entertainment, and gift packs for the children. Individuals and businesses can contribute by sponsoring a child's meal for just R50 or by donating toys, clothing, or food items. Furthermore, there are opportunities for volunteers to assist on the day or entertain at the event.

As the largest non-profit organisation dedicated to child protection in the Chatsworth community, Child Welfare Chatsworth also plays a vital role in providing essential services such as child protection, family preservation, counselling, poverty alleviation, and community outreach. The Christmas celebration is a pivotal part of their commitment to uplifting the lives of vulnerable children.
