SIR – I make this appeal in my position as ambassador for bibic, the UK charity that really makes a huge difference to the lives of disabled children and their families.

It has been doing amazing work for more than 37 years and I am proud to have been associated with them for a long time. Bibic provides a lifeline to families from all over the UK by working closely with children with complex and demanding conditions such as cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and other learning difficulties.

Perhaps you would consider a donation through the charity’s website, bibic.org.uk?

Alternatively, why not host a festive dinner party and encourage donations from your guests? Perhaps your organisation may consider an e-Christmas card and donate the money saved on conventional cards and postage.

With your help we can ensure that their amazing work continues.

John Cleese on behalf of Bibic
