Help Us Bring a Little Christmas Magic to Families in Need

Written by Jp Joannou

Arighi Bianchi x Little Cherubs Christmas Giving Campaign


Something BIG, bright and full of Christmas magic is coming to Arighi Bianchi! This Christmas, we’re proud to partner with local charity Little Cherubs to help bring smiles to children and families experiencing financial hardship across Macclesfield, the High Peak and surrounding communities.
Launching on Friday 30th October, our very own Arighi Bianchi Christmas Giving Truck will arrive at the store, lighting up the festive season and inviting our community to come together for a wonderful cause. And this is just the beginning - you might even spot our brightly lit truck out on the road, visiting local towns and events throughout the winter!
We want to fill our truck with as many Christmas presents as possible, and we need your help. From 30th October, bring a new, unwrapped gift to Arighi Bianchi and help us make Christmas a little more magical for local families who need it most.


Proud to Support Little Cherubs


Every Christmas, Little Cherubs works tirelessly to provide new toys and presents to children aged 0–16 whose families may otherwise struggle to afford gifts.
Working alongside schools, social services, midwives, women's refuges and other support organisations, the charity helps ensure that more children can experience the excitement of Christmas morning, whatever their family's circumstances.
Little Cherubs typically supports more than 250 children each Christmas. This year, we're proud to support their appeal and help reach even more children across our local community.
As Sally from Little Cherubs explains:
“A bag of new presents might seem like a simple thing, but for a child it can mean waking up on Christmas morning with the same excitement as their friends and knowing that someone thought about them.”
It's this spirit of kindness and community that makes the campaign so special.
Sarah Bianchi also shares why supporting Little Cherubs and bringing our community together is so important to us this Christmas.
A Message from Sarah Bianchi:
“As a family business with deep roots in our local community, we believe Christmas should be a special time for every child. We know the festive season can bring additional financial pressure for some families, and we wanted to do something meaningful to help make a difference.
“Partnering with Little Cherubs felt like a natural choice. The work they do to support local children and families is incredible, and we’re proud to help them reach even more children this Christmas. We hope our Christmas Giving Appeal will bring our customers, colleagues and wider community together to spread a little kindness and help create those magical Christmas morning moments every child deserves.
“Every gift, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference. If we can help make Christmas a little brighter for even more children this year, we’ll have achieved something truly special.”


How You Can Get Involved


We’re inviting our customers, colleagues and local community to help us fill our Christmas Giving Truck with presents for children of all ages.
How to donate:
•    When: From Friday 30th October until 30th November
•    Where: Arighi Bianchi, Macclesfield
•    What: New, unused and unwrapped gifts for children aged 0–16
Simply bring your gift into the store and ask a member of our team to direct you to the donation point.
Every present makes a difference, whether it's a toy for a toddler, a creative gift for a school-aged child or something special for a teenager. We particularly encourage donations for older children, who can sometimes be overlooked in Christmas appeals.


Need Some Gift Inspiration?


There are so many ways to make Christmas special. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
•    Babies and toddlers: Soft toys, sensory toys and age-appropriate toys.
•    Younger children: Dolls, building blocks, books, puzzles and craft sets.
•    Older children: LEGO, board games, sports equipment, science kits and creative activities.
•    Teenagers aged 11–16: Headphones, skincare and toiletry sets, jewellery, gaming accessories, cosy blankets and gift vouchers.
Practical gifts such as pyjamas, slippers, warm hats and gloves, backpacks and stationery are also wonderful options.
Please ensure all donations are brand-new, unused and ideally in their original packaging. Gifts should be left unwrapped so the charity can organise and distribute them appropriately.
