12 Days of Christmas campaign to provide support and advice for every family

Christmas will be particularly challenging for many of us this year due to the current economic crisis. Many parents will worry about managing their children’s expectations in the run-up to Christmas Day, or how to entertain little ones on a budget during the school holidays.

This Christmas Spurgeons would like to help every family with the launch of our ’12 Days of Christmas’ campaign. A series of simple emails with tips, insights and activities to work through as a family, based on expert advice from our qualified counsellors and parent support workers, who understand the complexities of family life during the festive season.

The e-mails will start on 1st December and you can sign up now by visiting http://everyfamily.spurgeons.org. Anyone who signs up will be entered into a free prize draw for a chance to win Charlie, our giant bear, a lovely gift for someone special this Christmas.
