Save the Children Wish List

Empty wallet, whopping overdraft: it’s spend, spend, spend at this time of year.

When all you really want to do is save.

Buy gifts from Save the Children’s wish list and you can — even as you continue to shell out. For as little as £7 you can improve the life of a child less fortunate than you, in the UK and abroad.

A sewing kit helps an African child earn a living. A bicycle is a means of transport. A school uniform, text book or desk helps educate those who cannot afford it, which, in turn, improves their chances of future employment.

Chickens, seeds or piglets generate money and food for a hungry family. A jar of peanut butter gives health and comfort to a starving child.

It’s your chance to give a little (actually, a lot) back.

All for mere peanuts.
