Christmas isn’t a happy time for everyone in Brisbane and thankfully there are many charities that share love, kindness and the spirit of giving to those less fortunate during the festive season but you can help too.

Many families and individuals are struggling financially and mentally, many people have no home, family or food and many are scared for their safety but wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to help these people this Christmas and bring a smile to their face and a sprinkle of joy to their lives.

You can by simply donating to one (or more if you choose) of the charities listed below. This year help make Christmas a little brighter for the less fortunate people of Brisbane.

St Vincent de Paul

Kmart Wishing Tree appeal

Lifeline

Salvation Army

Sheltered by Grace

Australian Red Cross
