Share the joy of Christmas with those who need it most

We’re proud to welcome The Giving Tree back to Bluewater this December. This heartwarming initiative supports over 45 children’s and family charities across Kent and the South East.

How can I get involved?

There are several ways you can get involved:

1. Gift a present: Each tag on our magnificent tree represents a child in need - simply choose one, shop for a thoughtful gift from one of our stores and return it to the tree.
2. Donate on the go: Even if you’re short on time, you can still make a difference with a contactless donation. By taking just seconds out of your shop, you can give something precious to these great causes.
3. Corporate or group giving: If you’re part of an organisation or business who wants to spread festive cheer, you can request a bundle of tags to distribute among your team or clients. You can also organise a group donation and drop-off at Bluewater. Please contact us at bluewater.reception@mitie.com if you’re interested.
4. Gift-wrapping station: What’s more, Bluewater will have a gift-wrapping station between 9th - 24th December on the Upper Rose Gallery in the Charity and Community Space next to Søstrene Grene. Guests will be able to have their gifts wrapped by volunteers from local charities when they make a donation.

Come and find us at the lower level in the Star Court and help make Christmas brighter for everyone.
