How are John Lewis and Waitrose supporting Action for Children this Christmas?
What do a tote bag, a mug, and a yule log all have in common? They’re just some of the ways that John Lewis and Waitrose is supporting Action for Children this Christmas.
It isn’t quite Christmas without the magical unveiling of the John Lewis Christmas ad. Following the launch of their 2025 Christmas advert, we’re looking at some of the ways that John Lewis is supporting us this Christmas.
The classic soundtrack to the John Lewis ad for 2025 is dance track "Where Love Lives" by Alison Limerick, alongside a slower modern cover of the same song created by artist Labrinth.
John Lewis is selling a 12" vinyl featuring both versions of the song, with 100% of profits going toward the Building Happier Futures programme. The vinyl is currently out of stock online, but you can still find it in John Lewis stores across the country.
Just in time for the colder weather, the John Lewis Partnership have released this year's Made by Care range, all designed by teacher and aspiring designer Leah as part of their Building Happier Futures programme.
The jumpers and t-shirts come in a range of colours and prints, and the entire collection contributes a portion of the proceeds to Action for Children.
Alongside clothing, John Lewis’ Made by Care range also features accessories that are sure to add that touch of sophistication. These include scarves and tote bags which make the perfect gift this Christmas.
Like the jumpers and t-shirts, proceeds from sales will go towards our work in supporting care experienced young people and helping them develop vital employability skills.
The full Made by Care range is available online and instore at John Lewis
Floral printed jigsaw puzzle
A perfect gift for puzzlers, the Made By Care jigsaw features a stunning wildflower design. At 1000 pieces, this is sure to keep your loved ones busy this Christmas.
The design represents care-experienced people; wildflowers flourish in difficult environments. They're resilient, strong, and beautiful.
Some new additions to the Made By Care range this year include stoneware vases, mugs and trinket dishes all in Leah's signature floral print.
Decadent, chocolatey, and topped with snow-like icing sugar, a chocolate yule log is the centre piece of any well-decked Christmas feast. By choosing Waitrose’s Christmas Yule Log this year, you can enjoy your festive treat whilst helping support vulnerable children across the UK.
You can shop the Christmas Yule Log instore and online during the festive period.
For the fourth year running, the Lewis Bear Tree Decoration is back to add an adorable touch of festive cheer to Christmas trees across the UK. The bear comes with a striped bow-tie, a cheery smile, and a Christmas tree hanging ribbon.
Not only will it be bringing festive cheer, but it could also help build a happier and safer home for a vulnerable child in the UK by generating funds for the Building Happier Futures Programme.
From the sale of the Mini Lewis Bear Tree Decoration, John Lewis PLC will donate £14,000 to the Building Happier Futures Fund.
Over the years, our partnership with John Lewis and Waitrose has been vital in helping ensure safer and happier childhoods across the UK. Their support has meant we can grow our services supporting children and young people in care and with care experience. This includes young people like Miracle and Angharad. With your help, we could reach even more children, young people, and their families.
Make a difference at Christmas.
