The Secret Santa Appeal has always been supported by the generosity of local businesses and organisations. In its earlier years, between 1989 and 2001, that support came in many different forms, with organisations such as Pulse Radio and Bradford & Bingley helping the Appeal through sponsorship, promotion and valuable in-kind support.

As the Appeal grew, so too did our approach to sponsorship. From 2002 onwards, we began developing more structured partnerships with local businesses, creating opportunities for organisations to support the Appeal in a more visible, meaningful and professional way.

Today, sponsorship plays an important part in helping us continue to grow the Secret Santa Appeal, reach more children and young people, and bring together businesses and communities from across the district.

We are incredibly grateful to every organisation that has supported the Appeal over the years, some of whom are recognised below.

We are also always delighted to hear from local businesses who would like to become part of the next chapter of the Secret Santa Appeal. Whether through financial sponsorship, practical support or a wider partnership, we would love to talk about how your organisation could get involved and help us make Christmas a little brighter for local children and young people.
