Operation Santa Appeal 2026

Caerphilly County Borough Council’s annual ‘Operation Santa’ appeal launches today and will remain open until Friday 27th November. Hundreds of children across the borough are at risk of not receiving a gift this Christmas. Operation Santa aims to provide presents to those nominated by their social workers. Cllr Teresa Heron, Cabinet Member for Social Care, commented “Operation Santa brings joy and festive cheer to children and families across the county borough, helping to make Christmas a special time of year. This fantastic appeal relies on the kindness and generosity of our local residents and businesses, whose continued support makes such a positive difference. On behalf of Caerphilly County Borough Council, I would like to thank everyone who continues to support Operation Santa. Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to seeing the appeal make a difference to children across our communities once again”.
