At Big Rock this Christmas we’re ditching the Secret Santa for The Original Giving Tree in support of KidsOut, a charity dedicated to supporting some of the UK’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children with positive and happy experiences.
The Original Giving Tree initiative is a fun alternative to the traditional Secret Santa. Instead of buying anonymous gifts for colleagues, #TheOriginalGivingTree encourages people to buy a toy or gift for a disadvantaged child. Many of the recipients are children who have escaped domestic violence, being forced to flee their homes quickly and leave all possessions behind. Without Giving Tree, these children may not otherwise receive a gift at Christmas.
How can I help?
It’s easy to donate by buying directly from the Fun & Happiness shop on the KidsOut website.

You can also donate by purchasing a physical toy: Simply collect a Giving Tree tag in the centres (the tag has the child’s name, age, and the gift they would like on it.), purchase the toy on the tag and drop it off at Big Rock by 11th December, and we’ll do the rest!
