Christmas Present Appeal

Please support our Christmas Present Appeal by donating new, unwrapped toys and gifts for children who might not otherwise receive a Christmas present. You can drop off your donations at The Salvation Army Church and Community Centre, Woodbridge Road GU1 4QQ on Monday to Wednesday 9am-12pm or The Salvation Army Donation+ Centre, 19 Woodbridge Road Guildford
GU1 1DY on Monday to Saturday 9am-5pm

The gifts will then be sorted and distributed to families in the area. 

We believe every child deserves a new gift at Christmas so we are unable to take used or second hand items for the Christmas Present Appeal.

• 3-5: dolls and action figures, cars, lorries, DVDs and CDs (music and nursery rhymes), colouring sets, pencils, crayons, books, puzzles
