Torquay

Be a star this Christmas and donate a toy to our Christmas Present Appeal!

This year, we are expecting the number of families in need of help to rise as a result of the cost of living crisis. So, if you are able to, please consider donating a new, unwrapped gift for children who might not otherwise receive a present this Christmas.

You can drop off your donations at 29 Market Street, Torquay on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday between 9am – 1.30pm until the end of November.

The gifts will then be sorted and distributed to families in the area, bringing the joy of Christmas to those who need it.

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.

Alternatively follow the link to our JustGiving page.
