Once again, the generous BA team in the Social Security Directorate of the Scottish Government are giving up their secret Santa gifts in favour of donating to charity.  This year, one of the chosen charities is the Christmas Toy Bank.

Christmas is a time for family. It's a time for caring, sharing and spreading love. But for too many families across Scotland, they won't get that chance this Christmas. This year will be even tougher as the coronavirus pandemic continues to cause hardship, with a disproportionate impact on those who were already struggling to get by. That's why we have launched our 8th Annual Christmas Toybank Appeal, which this year aims to go much bigger. Working with Children 1st and Women's Aid, we have identified 2000 children and young people across Scotland that we aim to support this Christmas. Your donations will buy new toys or gift vouchers for those who may otherwise receive nothing at Christmas.
