Having been involved in World Gifts from the very beginning, this edit reflects a long-standing commitment to practical giving and solidarity. These gifts highlight a deep belief in supporting people with dignity, especially in times of crisis, and offering opportunities to build a better future. 

The Super Soup Kitchen gift honours a family tradition of emergency giving. After hearing about World Gifts, his mum supported them every Christmas for 20 years, always choosing gifts that helped people in the toughest of situations. The Sewing Kit gift speaks to the transformative power of learning and earning, especially for women whose education has been disrupted. And the Terrific Toilet gift ensures communities can stay healthy and safe, with access to clean sanitation. 

“I’ve always thought World Gifts were a brilliant way to support CAFOD and solve the ‘what do I buy them?’ dilemma. When my daughter started school, I bought her gifts from the Education Fund since I was proud of her learning, and I wanted others to have the same chance. She’d probably have preferred more sweets, but she got the message!” 

This edit brings together the values passed between generations—compassion, dignity, and a quiet but powerful belief in helping others fulfil their potential. The gifts remind us to look beyond our celebrations and make a difference to others.
