Luckily, we are very fortunate to be able to share that we have a couple of great ways to double the difference this Christmas through donations being made to two of Jigsaw4u’s London Marathon runners for 2026 – Ashley and Kinsey!
Support Jigsaw4u’s children and families this Christmas
Over the years, Jigsaw4u has been very fortunate to receive support from individuals, businesses and other organisations to help our children and families struggling with complex social and emotional difficulties over the festive period.
These difficulties can include; childhood bereavement, depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, having a family member in prison and much more. With Christmas being an opportunity for many to connect with family members and friends, our young people will be struggling both emotionally and socially with the challenges they are facing over the Christmas period, with some feeling particularly isolated.
If you wish to consider supporting Jigsaw4u's families this Christmas, find out about more below.
Donate today to help us to deliver our specialist support services
The best way to support us this Christmas is by donating money towards our vital service-delivery, especially with Jigsaw4u facing increased demand for our support across SW London. This can be seen through overarching challenges affecting local people, including the concurrent cost of living and mental health crises.

Ashley Betty
Ashley is a student from the University of Southampton. Outside of her studies, she frequently runs distances as far as half marathons.
She is a firm believer that holistic support for young people is important as it can have the power to make a massive difference in their lives.
All donations to Ashley will be match-funded by her workplace.
Kinsey Hogg
Kinsey will be running alongside his Dad, Steven, in the Jigsaw4u colours at the London Marathon next year. This is a big moment for the Father and son duo, as three years ago, they began running regularly following Steven’s cancer diagnosis and treatment. Since then, there has been no looking back and running has become a massive part of their lives.
What your donation could do to help Jigsaw4u's families

How your donations can help
Daisy got back in touch to share her thanks for the specialist therapeutic support she received from Jigsaw4u when she was a teenager. Following on from our support, Daisy went onto University. She found a loving group of friends, was able to explore her passions and moved in with her long-term partner. Last year alone, we supported 10,507 individuals experiencing similar difficulties to Daisy - your support can help to create similar outcomes for other local young people at a time they need it most.
We’re unable to accept any more gifts this year – Thank You!
A huge thank you to everyone who has offered gifts for our service-users this Christmas! Your generosity has truly made this season brighter for so many. We’ve now reached our capacity for physical gift donations, which is an amazing reflection of your kindness.
If you’d still like to spread some festive joy by supporting Jigsaw4u, financial donations are a wonderful way to help children and families who need extra support this holiday season. You can still double your donations through Ashley and Kinsey’s Enthuse pages - and we’d love to have your support again next Christmas!
