For most people Christmas is the happiest time of the year as we spend time with friends and family. Unfortunately, there are many that spend it alone and miss out on the festive celebrations.

So, PKAVS trys to help Santa ensure that it is a special time for all.

Every year we deliver gifts, food and vouchers to hundreds of families and elderly people throughout Perth and Kinross. Last year, we gave over 600 selection boxes to disadvantaged children along with lots of toys and gifts.

If you find it hard thinking what to get for your family, you can understand how hard it is for us to organise presents for over 1,000 people!

Santa’s Little Helpers

Thankfully, we receive lots of help delivering the presents from The Rotary Clubs of Perth St Johns, Kinross, Aberfeldy and Crieff as well as Perth Strathearn 200 Round Table. So far, we’ve not heard of anybody being stuck halfway down a chimney but the reindeers have been complaining about their driving.

For us, the best bit happens after Christmas when we receive lots of thank you letters and cards, such as:

“We are writing to thank you very much for the parcel you sent for our son. We are touched by the gesture and greatly appreciate it especially at this difficult time.”

“I wish to thank you for the lovely surprise I received from you at Christmas time. The box of goodies was much appreciated.”

As a charity, knowing that our work makes a difference to people’s lives makes it all worthwhile.


Contact Anna Fraser if you know of somebody in need or if you are able to help sort presents, deliver or donate gifts or money for toys. We always need lots of helpers in the month leading up to Christmas!
