🎄 this year 454 children in our local area need support 🎄
HOW YOU CAN HELP
By donating any toys and gifts - new and unwrapped - you can help us make sure no child goes without a gift to open on Christmas Day. For more information on how to do this, please contact our local Co-ordinator on 07708 576 444.
We believe every child deserves a new gift at Christmas so are unable to take used or second-hand items at this time.
Thank you in advance for your generosity which we do not take for granted.

WHY ARE THE SALVATION ARMY INVOLVED?
As a Christian Church and Charity, we are passionate about unconditionally demonstrating God’s love to everyone.
One way we do this at Christmas is through the Christmas Present Appeal. This year with the impact of COVID -19 we are anticipating the demand will be greater than ever. The challenges that families have faced are varied and often heart-breaking.
