Share The Gift of Inclusion This Christmas
This Christmas, you can help light up someone’s world with the most meaningful gift of all — inclusion. At Orchardville, our participants thrive when they feel valued, welcomed, and part of their community. Your generosity ensures that people with learning disabilities and autism have the opportunities, confidence, and support they deserve.

Our Target
Why Your Support Matters
Every donation helps create moments of belonging — a warm welcome at a social club, a new skill learned, a job achieved, a friendship made. These are the everyday gifts that change lives.
This festive season, our participants have poured their hearts into this campaign — from handmaking every single Inclusion Star (we’re still finding glitter everywhere!) to proudly starring in our Christmas videos and sharing, in their own words, what inclusion truly means to them. Their creativity, joy, and determination remind us why this work is so important.
This year, we’re aiming to raise £2,512 — a festive target inspired by the 25th of December — to support opportunities that empower our participants to learn, grow, and belong. Every pound helps us continue creating spaces where they can thrive, feel valued, and shine brightly within the community.
By donating, you’re honouring their efforts and celebrating inclusion alongside them.

Thank You for Being Part of our Story
As part of our Gift of Inclusion campaign, our participants have been busy creating beautiful handmade stars — each one a symbol of belonging, hope, and community. These stars are being gifted to some of the wonderful people we’ve engaged with this year: supporters, employers, partners, funders, and friends who help make inclusion possible every day. We are deeply grateful for your continued support. If you receive one of our stars, we invite you to hang it proudly on your Christmas tree and share our powerful message that the best gift you can give or receive this year is inclusion. By sharing your star — and by supporting or donating to our campaign — you’re helping us create more opportunities, more moments of belonging, and a more inclusive world for the people we serve.
Help us make sure everyone shines.
Donate today and share the Gift of Inclusion.
We All Belong Here
This campaign isn’t just about raising funds — it’s about raising awareness.
Help Us Spread the Message of Inclusion
Our participants have created beautiful Inclusion Stars that we’re sending to key decision-makers, employers, and community leaders across Northern Ireland to spark conversations about belonging, opportunity, and equal inclusion.
Each star carries the voices of the people at the heart of Orchardville. As our participants say:
-
“Inclusion means being welcomed.”
-
“It means having friends who care about me.”
-
“It means being part of something.”
-
“Inclusion makes me feel confident.”
-
“It means being included at Christmas.”
If you receive one of our stars, we would love you to help amplify that message. Simply share a photo of your star on social media and tag us using #Orchardville along with our handles:

Together, let’s fill Northern Ireland with a powerful message from the people who inspire us every day:
Inclusion is the best gift this Christmas — because we all belong here.
