Gingerbread Party Pals!
Uganda
Aim: 75 Gingerbread Party Pals @ £20 each = Christmas for over 500 kids
Giving is proven to make us happier humans, so pop on some Christmas carols, make some Gingerbread and be happy because the tradition is back for a 3rd year!
Christmas is a worldwide celebration that bonds families and communities with love, hope, and belonging, which are its strongest ingredients.
Our heart is that we can once again bring the love of Christmas to as many kids as we can reach through this festive season.
Each party will have sodas, cakes, games, a gift, face painting! Every kid will leave happy ad with a full belly - we have a feast planned at every party too!
We just need 75 virtual party pals to make this happen.
Please will you buy a gingerbread party pal this Christmas?
As a thank you, here's a yummy Gingerbread festive recipe for you to enjoy:
- 100g salted butter
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- 100g dark muscovado sugar
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 225g plain flour
- 50g icing sugar
- STEP 1 Heat the butter, syrup and sugar together in a small pan until melted, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
- STEP 2 Mix together the bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and flour in a large bowl. Pour in the buttery syrup mixture and stir to combine, then use your hands to bring together to form a dough. Add up to 1 tbsp of milk to combine if needed. The dough will be soft at this point, but it’ll firm up in the fridge.
- STEP 3 Put the dough on a sheet of baking parchment, shape into a rectangle, and lay another sheet of parchment on top of it. Roll the dough out to a thickness of ½cm. Transfer to a baking sheet to keep it flat, leaving the parchment in place, then chill in the fridge for 1 hr.
- STEP 4 Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a large baking sheet with more baking parchment. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut out shapes using a cookie cutter. We used 9cm stars, but you can choose any shape. We also made some with smaller stars cut out of the centre to thread ribbon through and hang from a Christmas tree.
- STEP 5 Place the shapes, spread apart, on the lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-12 mins. (Depending on the size of the cutters you use, they might need a few minutes more or less cooking in the oven). Leave to cool completely on the baking sheet.

We understand that circumstances are different for everyone. If you are not in a position to buy a gingerbread pal, you can still get involved by sharing our appeal with your friends and family.
Thank you for caring enough. Thank you for the JOY we can bring together.
