The NSPCC's annual Letter from Santa campaign raised £1.82 million, including Gift
Aid, at the end of 2012. This is an increase from the £1.7 million it raised in 
2011.

Available for a suggested donation of just £5, the personalised and illustrated 
Letters from Santa were delivered to households across the UK and beyond by ‘reindeer
mail’'.

Andrew Flanagan, Chief Executive of the NSPCC, thanked supporters, saying: "2012
was a challenging year for fundraisers everywhere, with the effects of the continuing
recession and many people cutting back on charitable donations. No doubt 2013 will
be just as challenging, but the success of our festive fundraising campaign has 
given us real encouragement for the future and reinforced our faith in the Great
British public’s willingness to give.”
