The Reach Leaving Care Team supports over 400 young people across the city and wants to make sure each and every young person has a gift from the council, their Corporate Parent, on Christmas Day.
The Amazon Wish List has been developed in conjunction with care leavers and includes a range of gifts, from chocolates to wellbeing gift sets, for people to choose from.
To support the appeal, please visit Amazon and purchase the item that you, your team or your organisation, would like to donate. The Reach Leaving Care Team will then wrap them up and deliver them to the young people in time for Christmas.
Alongside the Amazon Wish List, the Reach Leaving Care Team will also be hosting a collection point where people can physically donate much requested items, similar to those on the wishlist. Donations can be made at The Oasis Hub, 73 to 75 Willenhall Road, WV1 2HW, every Thursday between 1pm and 6pm until 3 December, 2026.
Councillor Jacqui Coogan, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, said: “Every year we work with colleagues, the public and partners to provide, as their Corporate Parent, our care leavers with something special at Christmas.
"If you are able to buy a gift from the wishlist, or donate something physically, I know it will be greatly appreciated – not just by the Reach Leaving Care Team but of course by the young people themselves."
