Welcome to Alice Cares.

Christmas is still top of the agenda for the team at Alice. This week Helen and Deb are discussing how challenging it is to buy gifts for teenagers. And in particular teenage boys.

Some of the teenagers in the families supported by Alice are carers and quite often treated as adults when they really are still children, so it's important they get looked after at Christmas.

Last year the charity provided more than 5000 presents for children across Stoke on Trent and Newcastle.

The issue of children feeling guilty because their parents are not getting any presents was also discussed.

If you want to help the team with suggestions of presents get in touch with Emily on [email protected]
