The Light is Building
These last few months have been filled with long hours, careful planning, and the combined effort of dozens of volunteers from around the country, all preparing for the 2025 Christmas Light the World Charity Machines campaign here in the UK.
It’s been an extraordinary team effort.
From spreadsheets and storage visits to unpacking machines and testing our brand-new digital displays, plus meetings galore, the work behind the scenes has been simply remarkable.
A recent visit to our London storage site, packed with machines, Christmas lights, scarves, and signage, made it all start to feel real.
The digital machines have arrived, unwrapped, and are now coming to life.
Launch Events
The excitement is building too for launch events this Christmas, at Parliament in Westminster, and our host venues at 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 (6th – 20th December) in London and 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 in Birmingham (1st – 21st December). ✨
Each machine is simple in purpose but profound in impact.
Instead of buying something for yourself, you can choose to purchase a goat, a meal, a winter blanket, or even school supplies for someone in need – near or far.
With 100% of every donation going directly to our charity partners who deliver these items and services to those they serve.
But to make it all work, we need your help. 
We’re now seeking volunteers to help staff the machines throughout their placement in December, in Birmingham and London.
Each shift involves welcoming visitors, helping them understand how the machines work, and sharing in the joy of giving.
You’ll also help at the many events being planned around the machines, including choirs, community gatherings, and festive performances that will light up the season.
If you’d like to volunteer, please get in touch – we’d love to have you on the team.
“Therefore, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
Together, we’re lighting the world, one act of love, one small gift, and one bright smile at a time.
Who could you invite to share in the joy of giving?
