WARRINGTON Council’s neighbourhoods team is running its Christmas Toy Appeal for an eighth consecutive year.
The initiative helps families who are struggling to buy presents for their children. The team is asking for donations of new toys, chocolates, sweets, books and gift vouchers suitable for children up to the age of 16 – all gifts will be accepted.
All of the families who receive a present will have been referred to the service by health and wellbeing partners across the borough.
Residents can drop off their donations at Orford Community Hub, Festival Avenue between 9am – 4pm, Monday to Friday. Residents can contact the centre on 07775 024840 with any queries.
Cllr Tony Higgins, cabinet member for leisure and community, said: “Over the Last seven years, our communities have rallied together to donate gifts to ensure children of families, who may be struggling or facing hardship, receive a gift at Christmas.
“This year more than ever we need to continue to support one another. The pandemic has truly shone a light on the very best of our communities, and it would be fantastic if people could donate gifts, so that our children can receive a present and have a Christmas to remember.”
