We are looking to raise £2000 to help make a difference for as many children's Christmas as possible in South Leeds.
Last year we formed a partnership with Cottingley Community Project to run a toy drive out out of the gym and the Cottingley Community Centre where we were able to raise over £1000 in cash donations and had over 100 toys donated which was absolutely amazing. This allowed Cottingley Community Project to be able to help over 200 families which in turn meant over 350 children were able to receive a present at Christmas. But they weren't finished there. Due to the generosity of our gym members and the centres visitors we were also able to provide hot water bottles and warm blankets to over 50 elderly people in the area who may have struggled to stay warm during the colder months of the year. So here we are now asking for the same generosity to really make a difference to local peoples lives. I personally saw the happiness that last years donations created and it was heart warming. I know times are really tough at the moment but if you could please spare anything whether it be money or a toy donation then I can promise you that it would be going to help make a child's Christmas in your local area
