While Santa will have brought many children the presents they’ve been dreaming of this Christmas, more than half of adults surveyed in Wales say they have received gifts they don’t want and will never use, according to Barnardo’s. The YouGov survey also revealed that the majority of these gifts are left gathering dust, with 46 per cent of Welsh adults saying they put these gifts in a cupboard and never use them.

This year, instead of holding onto gifts that you’ll never use, we’re asking people to donate them to their local Barnardo’s shop. Donating to our stores means somebody else can find joy in our unwanted gifts.

It also helps Barnardo’s to bring care, hope and love to vulnerable children at Christmas and all year round.
