Story
The Toy Appeal is run by Chris & Dee Drake and a lot of volunteers, this is our 5th year of supporting Children across Manchester and Cheshire with Christmas toy sacks. Over the last 4 years we have provided 4200 toy sacks, this year we aim to provide another 4000!
We take referrals from schools and social workers, we are supporting children who would otherwise have nothing to open on Christmas day.
We spend on average £25 per child, we will hold fundraising events during the year and we will collect and sort donated toys, but we have a long way to go to enable us to support 2000 more children than last year, so we are extremely grateful for any donation you can make.
PLEASE HELP US GIVE A CHILD A CHRISTMAS
