Welsh mum crowned ‘Mrs Christmas’ After Helping Over 40 Families Enjoy a Debt-Free Christmas

A South Wales mum has been recognised for her outstanding community spirit, helping over 40 local families enjoy a financially stress-free Christmas.

Tania Leek, 61, from Tonyrefail, Porth, has been named ‘Mrs Christmas’ after winning the prestigious top agent award from Park Christmas Savings. She was presented with the accolade at a celebratory event in Liverpool, recognising her dedication to helping families budget effectively for the festive season.

Tania, a primary school administrative assistant, has been a Park Christmas Savings Club agent for more than 25 years. Her role involves assisting families in spreading the cost of Christmas by saving manageable amounts throughout the year, ensuring they can enjoy a festive season free from financial worry.

Park Christmas Savings operates through a network of over 23,000 agents across the UK, who collect weekly or monthly contributions from customers. These funds are then exchanged for vouchers and gift cards, which families use to purchase gifts and festive essentials.

Tania expressed her joy at receiving the award, saying: “Being a Park Christmas agent is incredibly rewarding. Not only does it provide a helpful extra income, but it also strengthens my bond with my community. I’ve met so many wonderful families over the years, and it’s heartwarming to know that I’m helping to make Christmas special for them.”

True to her generous spirit, Tania plans to use her £750 prize money to buy gifts for loved ones and contribute to her festive food budget for Christmas 2025.

Katherine Scott, director of marketing at Park Christmas Savings, praised Tania’s commitment: “We are thrilled to recognise Tania as our top Welsh agent. Park is incredibly proud of its 23,000 agents who make Christmas budgeting easier for families across the UK. Their hard work and dedication truly make a difference.”

Park Christmas Savings, part of PayPoint Plc, has been a trusted name in Christmas savings since its foundation in 1967. The company offers a secure way for families to plan their festive expenses, with funds kept safe in an independent trust regulated by the Christmas Prepayment Association (CPA).

Agents working with Park enjoy a range of benefits, including commission on orders over £1,500 and exclusive perks. Many, like Tania, find it to be an ideal way to earn additional income while making a positive impact in their communities.
