Crisis at Christmas in Edinburgh relies on donations from members of the public, community groups and companies to supply the items our guests need most urgently. We are incredibly thankful for all who have donated items to our Christmas offer this year.

We have set up an Amazon Wishlist of items that we know will be appreciated and needed over this Winter period in Edinburgh. We are very grateful for every donation, big or small.

You can also donate items directly. Please see our full wishlist below.
