Has your Christmas party turned virtual this year? Will you miss getting dressed up or slipping on your favourite festive jumper? Well we may have just what you need!
The party may not be able to go ahead this year, but that doesn't mean you can't get glam. Take part in Sparkle and Share and stand with women this Christmas...all from the comfort of your own home.
It is super simple to get involved:
Pick a day in December to dress up in your favourite festive outfit or Christmas jumper, take a photo, and share it on Instagram or Facebook using #SparkleandShare and tag @ActionAidUK
Donate £5 to ActionAid to support women and girls fight violence and injustice. Remember to share a screen shot of your donation confirmation on your social media too so that everyone knows you have donated!
Tag and nominate five friends on social media to get involved and do the same.
With your support we can make Sparkle and Share the next viral sensation and help change the lives of women and girls around the world.

Where your money goes
Money raised will support ActionAid's vital work, helping to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.
Meet Florence, the director of the ActionAid Tusitukirewamu Women's network in Kampala, Uganda. Tusitukirewamu means 'Let's Rise Together', and for 20 years the ActionAid-funded network has been working to end violence against women in Uganda, and supporter survivors.
A survivor of violence herself, Florence works tirelessly in her community to support women in need. She ensures women have a safe space to sleep, can access counselling and take their cases to court. She told us that, due to the pandemic, her work has become more critical than ever.
This Christmas, Florence will be on the front line and working around the clock to help women who are trapped with their abusers. It is vital that we stand with her.
By taking part in Sparkle and Share you can support women like Florence. A gift of £12 could provide essentials like clothing, underwear, soap and sanitary protection for survivors of violence who have fled with nothing.
