Welcome to the JCI Secret Santa Appeal website where you will find all the information you need to get involved and help us reach our goal of providing a gift a a needy children throughout the Bradford District, Calderdale and Kirklees areas.

Every year JCI Bradford gets together with all kinds of organisations such as schools, businesses and shopping centres to collect Christmas presents via pop-up collection points or running mini appeals within some of these organisations.

JCI Bradford leads the way with this annual Secret Santa Appeal starting originally in 1989. The appeal provides a great opportunity for JCI members to learn and practice skills in project management and people management as well as being active citizens.

The appeal collects over 6,000 presents each year. This project is one of the largest of its kind in the country and we would like to thank each and every person who has donated a present via our Secret Santa Appeal stand in the Kirkgate Shopping Centre, Bradford,  Eureka! the national children’s museum, Halifax and (New location) Yorkshire Children’s Centre, Brian Jackson House, 2 New North Parade, Huddersfield HD1 5JP as well as the many businesses, schools and organisations that have helped to make a needy child’s Christmas that bit more special.

The appeal runs between the end of November and mid December.
