Visit Diverse Abilities’ Christmas Gift Shop

Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, is to hold its first ever Christmas Shop this festive season.

The Christmas Shop is the perfect place to buy a meaningful Christmas gift for friends and family, which in turn help the charity support children and adults living with physical and learning disabilities, and their families.

The Christmas Shop offers a range of virtual gift to provide support across the whole charity. Gifts start at £8 to give a child with profound physical and learning disabilities the chance to participate in a Sensory Sport session. Gifts also include Outdoor Therapy for an adult with disabilities for £16, or a special Christmas Meal for £13. With every gift that is purchased, a card will be sent to the recipient, whether that be a friend, family member or colleague, with an insert showing how this year’s Christmas present has made a difference to someone who is supported by Diverse Abilities.

The shop is open online until Monday December 18, as well as a physical pop-up shop at The Dolphin Shopping Centre on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 December.

Helen Mortimer, head of fundraising at Diverse Abilities, commented: “We are really excited to launch our first ever Christmas Shop to give people chance to give a Christmas gift that lives beyond the festive season. Through the Christmas Shop on our website you can browse our Christmas gifts and find out a bit more about who your donation will support. We will also be hosting our first pop-up shop at The Dolphin Shopping Centre if you’d prefer to buy in person and have a chat with our fundraising team and volunteers.”
