A Teddington-based charity has officially launched its Kindness Advent Calendar campaign for this year.

The Christmas period can be a really challenging time for many disabled people and their families, says Ruils.

The charity acts as a lifeline for many who may go without support, both during the holidays and throughout the year.

All donations made toward its Advent calendar campaign will help fund Ruils' work supporting Disabled children, adults and their families across South West London.

"Your donations will make the Christmas period a lot brighter for many in our community," Ruils said.

From 1 December, campaign participants will find a daily act of kindness, activity or interesting fact about how Ruils supports the community behind each door, suitable for all ages and abilities.

Ruils asks for participants to follow its social media pages, share their stories with #RuilsAdvent26 and tag it in your posts.

The last day to order your calendar with a guaranteed arrival before 1 December is Thursday, 26 November.

Postage is not included in the £10 donation per calendar and Ruils has given the option of contributing towards this cost.

If you are ordering a calendar to be delivered outside of the UK, Ruils asks that you select international postage to cover the cost.
