What is Caring Christmas?
Savoo’s Caring Christmas is our yearly charity campaign, during which Savoo donates 5 percent of revenue (terms & conditions apply) on all purchases to charity. That means, no matter what you are buying, who it’s for, or which brand it is from, we’ll donate to the Charity of the Week on your behalf at no extra cost. The Cost of Living has most households on a tighter budget than usual this winter, and charities across the U.K. are feeling this impact. Our campaign is a great way to donate to charity this Christmas, letting you tick all the names off your gifting list and make a Christmas charity donation at the same time, and still end up saving money on the RRP of your items.
Just a few brands you can get discounts for here at Savoo:
Last year we managed to surpass our £10,000 goal and raise £11,658 charity! Each week, we'll share updates on how much your shopping has contributed. Let's do this together!
Goal: £5,000
With four incredible charities taking part over four weeks from November 25th all the way until December 22nd what better way to feel even better when shopping for Christmas, Diwali, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the New Year? Whether your purchases support the Earth’s tropical forests, critically ill children, or unhoused pets, our Christmas charity appeal presents a range of worthy causes deserving of your support in winter 2024.

A few more ways you can donate to charity this Christmas 2024…
Get a box of charity Christmas cards
If you send Christmas cards to friends, family and neighbours every year, why not send charity cards instead of commercial shop-bought ones? Cards for good causes are available at most charity shops around the festive season, as well as online. Keep an eye out for other items that can be bought at charity shops like charity Christmas crackers and napkins.
Use these links to shop for your 2024 Christmas cards:
- Get Marie Curie Christmas cards in the Marie Curie online shop
- Get Save the Children Christmas cards in the Save the Children online shop
- Check out the Stroke Association shop
- Check out the Blue Cross shop
- Make-A-Wish has previously sold Christmas cards through retailers like Next
Launch a fundraiser
While the festive spirit is high during all the celebrations at the end of the year, what better than to get your friends, family and colleagues involved in a fundraising event? A great way to make a charity Christmas donation that goes the extra mile: you’ll get everyone donating, raise even more, and have a great time in the process! Have a look at the website of a charity close to your heart and you’ll find they often have free fundraising packs and guides to help you get started.
Donate toys and gifts to a food bank or similar
Around the festive season, look out for opportunities to give charity gifts in the form of toy donations. Whether that’s checking out the “Giving Tree" in your local supermarket or contacting a food bank or toy bank near you, this is a great way to ensure a local child has the Christmas they deserve. Check out our charity partner The Trussell Trust (who you can also support through Savoo), or see if your local town halls runs a toy donation collection in your area.
