Not sure what to send your sponsored child?

Optional, small and inexpensive gifts are a welcome addition to the birthday cards or letters sent to children

Children love to receive photos and letters giving them a fuller picture of what life is like in Ireland.

Items like stickers, colouring pencils, notepads and other educational items
are always appreciated.

Please note there are weight and size limits to what can be sent.
Max size A4 envelope & 150g in weight.

Why we need to restrict the types of gifts!

We would love to send all the gifts sponsors want to send to the children. However, to promote fairness we urge you to keep things as simple as possible and follow the above guidelines.

That way some children are not getting too much more than others and it helps us manage expectations in the best way possible.

If you are wondering what happens to the gifts that can’t be sent, we will be donating them to SVP at Christmas time to make sure we assist thousands of individuals and families who needed our help in local communities all across Ireland.
