Christmas for CAMHS is a registered charity that wants to make sure that children that are inpatients within the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) also get presents this Christmas.

Founded in 2016 by Ealing resident Dr Rosanna Bevan, the charity has raised more and more money every year.

Having raised £1,000 and sending over 300 gifts in 2016, they have increased their fundraising and outreach each year to the point that they raised £10,000 and sent over 1,500 gifts last year.

And now they need your help in order to beat that target.

Dr Bevan said: "We want to let young people going through a difficult time know we're thinking of them.

"We'd love to reach more of them and give meaningful gifts that help them cope whilst in hospital," added the 33-year-old.

Almost all funds raised are spent directly on presents for the children, as everyone working with the charity is an unpaid volunteer and overheads are extremely low.
