Dunelm Sunderland has been an incredible supporter of Louie’s, helping to bring joy to children in need during the festive season. Every year, Dunelm launches its Gift of Joy campaign, where shoppers in the Sunderland area can take a gift tag from the Christmas tree, purchase the listed items, and donate them to a child in need.

In December 2024, thanks to the generosity of the Sunderland community, over 200 gift bags were donated through the campaign. The amazing team at Dunelm Sunderland then collected and passed these donations on to us, ensuring they reached children in hospital as well as those in the community who regularly receive hospital care. This incredible support gave our Christmas appeal a huge boost, allowing us to fulfill over 500 gifts for children across the North East.
