10 Ways to make a difference this Christmas

10 Ways to make a difference this Christmas

Small actions. Big impact. Together, we can make a real difference this festive season. 

This Christmas, Concern invites you to take part in 10 Days of Action — ten simple ways to show compassion, raise your voice, and make a real difference for people living in extreme poverty. Each day brings a new way to take action, whether it’s advocating for change, spreading awareness, or supporting communities in need. 

Day one: Raise your voice

Write to your MP about restoring and protecting the UK’s aid budget. Tell them why global aid matters now more than ever.

Attend or watch online to support Concern’s Water for Gaza Appeal. Attend or watch online here.

Day three: Learn and share

Read about Manal and Amina, parents in Yemen facing hunger and displacement, yet staying hopeful for their children.

Another person wearing patterned clothing and a black face covering supports the child. The child is wearing a red and black outfit and appears thin, with visible ribs and limbs. The setting looks modest, with a brown wall in the background and another child partially visible in the foreground.
