Veezu staff across Sheffield are on a mission to make Christmas special for kids!

Veezu, which has driver-partners across the UK, says its proud to support Hits Radio South Yorkshire Cash for Kids for the third consecutive year in support of their annual Christmas campaign, Mission Christmas.

Recognised as the UK’s largest Christmas gift appeal, Mission Christmas ensures that disadvantaged children have gifts to unwrap on Christmas morning. Last year, the campaign raised over £14 million in gifts and donations, helping 286,000 children experience the joy of Christmas.

Delivering smiles this Christmas

This year, Veezu is stepping up its involvement by volunteering to pack and transport presents for the campaign. The Veezu team will be picking up donations in the branded Veezu van and sorting gifts at the Mission Christmas warehouse, transforming into Santa's elves for the season.

Sacha Boulis, Regional Marketing Manager at Veezu, the UK’s fastest-growing taxi and private hire technology platform, said: “We’re thrilled to continue our support for Mission Christmas, especially during these challenging times when many families are still feeling the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.

“Mission Christmas is about much more than just giving gifts—it’s about community, compassion, and spreading joy to those who need it most. We’re honoured to work with Cash for Kids again this year to bring smiles to children across the region this Christmas morning.”

Paula Clayton, Charity Fundraising Executive, added: "Our mission is to improve the lives of local disadvantaged children and young people facing poverty, abuse, neglect, illness, or additional needs.

"This year, the need is greater than ever, and we’re grateful for the incredible support from Veezu and other local businesses. Their generosity allows us to ensure no child wakes up without a gift on Christmas Day. Together, we can make this festive season a little brighter for thousands of children."
