This year we are celebrating 40 years since The Children's Society introduced Christingle services to The Church of England. Join in the celebration and hold a Christingle of your own. It is a wonderful opportunity to bring together children, family and friends, forge stronger links between churches, local schools and youth groups and together celebrate the Christmas message.
Whether you are new to Christingle or one of our regular supporters, this fun and festive event has something for everyone. Last year, a record breaking £1,235,945 was raised through Christingle - enabling The Children's Society to shine light into darkness for thousands of children.
Your Christingle can take many forms, be it a service, a carol concert or a school assembly. Our wide range of new, free and inspiring resources, focussed on this year's theme of Jesus the Light of the World, will help you to create your own special celebration.
