Christingle brings together children and families to celebrate the Christmas message. For many churches Christingle is often the biggest event of the year.

What's more, through 6000 Christingles across the country in churches, schools and youth groups, over £1,200,000 is raised every year. This money provides a vital lifeline to the work of The Children's Society with disadvantaged children who face violence, neglect and poverty in their daily lives.

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 God's Good Gifts, will help you to create your own special celebration.

This year to help you find the resources you need, we have arranged the resources by group (children and youth, schools and church), by theme (gifts, light, world and blood) plus all of our resources are available in a quick A-Z look up. Click on the links below.
