Wests Group Macarthur Spreads Christmas Cheer Through Giving Tree Appeal

Wests Group Macarthur’s Chairman, Alan Buxton, says the annual appeal reflects the Club’s commitment to supporting the local community when it matters most.

“With so many families still doing it tough, we’re proud to bring back this appeal in 2025 to help ensure children and families across Macarthur can share in the excitement and joy of Christmas,” says Alan.

He adds that the Club’s volunteer wrapping day is another highlight of the program.

“We are also really proud of the volunteer gift wrapping day where all the gifts are wrapped, as a way for us all to connect and lend a hand toward the cause this Christmas.”

Big Yellow Umbrella’s Kim Landouw says the appeal provides vital support to families struggling with the rising cost of living.

“The state of the national economy is impacting families like never before — we are seeing a greater demand for our Hamper House Crisis Support Program, mental health supports, and youth outreach programs,” says Kim.

She adds that even a small act of generosity can have a big impact.

“A small gesture from a complete stranger could be the lift someone needs to let them know they are not alone. 

“If you can give during this hard time, please know your kind donation will go toward putting a smile on the face of a local Macarthur-based family this Christmas.”
