How to Get Involved this Christmas

23rd of October, 2024

Christmas should be a time for joy, celebration, and giving back. This year let's come together to make a difference in the lives of Canterbury families affected by violence. Join us in our Christmas Gifting initiative and help spread some Christmas joy.

How It Works

• Gift Collection: Encourage your organisation, team or staff to bring unwrapped gifts to your workplace. If you have a Christmas tree, feel free to place them underneath. 
• Donation Buckets: If you are a customer facing organisation or retailer, host a donation bucket to collect gold coin donations.

We'll collect and distribute these gifts to families in need throughout Canterbury.

Resources to Help You

We've created a toolkit with everything you need to make your participation easy and effective:

• Email templates: Spread the word among your organisation, team, staff and clients.
• Gift list: Get ideas for new and thoughtful unwrapped Christmas gifts.
• Posters: Remind everyone to bring gifts.
• Social media graphics: Promote the initiative online.
• Donation Posters: Collect donations in your reception or checkout area.

Why Participate?

We understand that this is a busy time of year, but your participation can make a significant impact on the lives of those in need. By participating in the Aviva's Christmas Gifting Initiative, you're helping to create a brighter Christmas for families in our community.

Can't Participate? Donate Instead

If you're unable to participate in the Gifting Tree, please consider making a donation to support Aviva's ongoing work to prevent violence and support survivors. Your generosity will make a real difference.
