The Sun’s Christmas appeal

In December 2017, the Sun’s Smiles At Christmas campaign raised over £29,000 in cash plus toys to share with children with cancer. This year, we’re working with the Sun On Sunday for a Christmas toy appeal, click the link to find out more about how you can get involved.

Through its Smiles at Christmas appeal, the Sun newspaper asked its readers to donate money and toys to put a smile on the faces of those children that need it most. Our CEO Cliff O’Gorman said: “We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of Sun readers and the companies who have donated toys. These special gifts have allowed us to surprise and delight the children who are fighting cancer this Christmas. It’s a wonderful gesture.”
