Christmas Catalogue

Be an angel for Arjan by sharing a message of hope this Christmas. Welcome to the Really Good Gifts catalogue for Christmas 2026, a joyful way to share God’s love and kindness with people affected by leprosy. At Christmas, angels brought a message of great joy and hope. Today, your Really Good Gifts can carry a message of hope too. Young Arjan in Bangladesh knows how much that can mean. Leprosy damaged his hands and feet, disrupted his education and left him isolated as other children teased and avoided him. By choosing Really Good Gifts this Christmas, you can be a messenger of God’s love and kindness to someone like Arjan. Your gift says: I see you. I care for you. There is hope for your future. Thank you for bringing hope, healing and new beginnings this Christmas. With God’s blessings,

Gillian Whitley Executive Director

The Gift of Sight $90 Leprosy can damage the nerves that protect the eyes, putting a person’s sight at risk. Losing sight can profoundly change their ability to work, care for themselves and take part in family and community life. When surgery can prevent further sight loss or restore vision, the difference can be life changing, helping someone see clearly and enjoy everyday life again.

Allu’s Story

Leprosy had affected Allu’s eyesight, making everyday life a struggle. Thanks to the eye surgery from the Leprosy Mission hospital, his vision has been restored. He is overjoyed to see the world around him once more. 10 Order by phone 0800 862 873

Food for a Month $60 A hospital stay can mean weeks away from home and family.

This gift provides a whole month of meals for someone receiving specialist leprosy care, nourishing them through some of the most challenging days of their recovery.

Counselling $55 Sometimes the wounds caused by leprosy cannot be seen. Stigma, fear and rejection can take a heavy emotional toll.

High Impact

Cure One $432

Gauri has leprosy, but she also has a dream. She wants to learn tailoring and one day earn an income of her own. Cure One begins with the medicine that will cure her leprosy.

It can give her the chance to turn her hopes for tomorrow into a future of her own making. 12 Order by phone 0800 862 873

Protective Sandals $10 Pain tells us when something is wrong. When leprosy damages the nerves in the feet, that warning can disappear, allowing small injuries to go unnoticed and become serious wounds. Specially designed microfibre sandals cushion and protect vulnerable feet, reducing pressure and the risk of further injury with every step.

Blocks of Hope $100

Your gift helps build the new Leprosy Research Centre in Nepal, giving researchers the facilities they need to find better ways to diagnose, treat and manage leprosy.
