Community is running a Christmas present appeal, collecting donated presents for families who can’t afford Christmas presents for their children. Please help us spread the joy of Christmas and give a child a gift.
We will be collecting donations until Friday 16th December.
Here are a few guidelines when donating:
- The best kinds of presents are a low cost and value of £5 – £10 each.
- Age group is 0-18 years. Babies and teenagers are often forgotten.
- All toys need to be new. We are unable to accept second-hand toys or books in any condition.
- Gift ideas:
- Children love characters from films and TV programmes like Harry Potter, Disney characters, superhero for example.
- Toiletry sets for girls and boys; Lynx sets go down well with teenage boys.
- Please do not buy make up in case they have allergic reactions or skin conditions which means they can’t be used. Nail varnishes etc are great gifts.
- Sensory and fidget toys such as poppets and spinners.
- Mindful themed colouring and puzzle books for teens.
- Colouring books for younger children.
- Individual craft items for example pack of pencils or crayons.
- Please do not wrap the gifts, this will allow gifts to be matched appropriately. You can donate wrapping paper or gifts bags.
