Make Theirs Magic Christmas Toy Appeal
Christmas is a time of joy, wonder, and giving. For many of us, it’s the season to create memories with loved ones and delight in the sparkle of the holidays. But for some families, the festive period can bring a different set of emotions, stress, worry, and the heart breaking struggle to provide gifts for their children.
That’s why we’re so excited to launch the Make Theirs Magic Christmas Toy Appeal, in partnership with the amazing national charity, Family Action. Together, we’re aiming to make this Christmas magical for children and young people in our communities who need it most.
The festive season isn’t always easy for everyone. Did you know that 1 in 6 parents can’t afford to buy their child a present this Christmas? For these families, the holidays can be more about sacrifice than celebration.
Last year, their Toy Appeal provided over 15,000 gifts to children across the country and this year they're aiming to do more and ensure that every child that we support experiences the magic of Christmas morning.
How can you support the Make Theirs Magic Toy Appeal?
Getting involved is easy! Whether it’s donating a toy or spreading the word, every little act of kindness can make a huge impact. We are asking our local community to donate new and unwrapped gifts. We are particularly looking for unwrapped gifts for ages 1-18 years.
From Thursday 21st November, there will be a dedicated ‘Toy Appeal bin’ for you to drop-off your gifts, which will be in our centre until 18th December. These will be collected and distributed to families in time for Christmas.
