Every year at Christmas, the Telegraph launches its charity appeal to raise money for four worthy causes.

In 2025, we’ve been supporting Prostate Cancer Research, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, Canine Partners - which provides assistance dogs to people with disabilities - and The Not Forgotten, which offers support and community to Armed Forces veterans.

There’s still time to donate and to support these good causes, so in this Christmas Day bonus episode of The Daily T, you can hear directly from a few of the people the Telegraph appeal is helping.

Merry Christmas!
