Christmas morning should be magical for every child. But for many families in Plymouth, the cost of living means gifts simply aren’t possible.

Every year, The Salvation Army in Plymouth runs a city-wide Christmas toy appeal so that children wake up on Christmas morning with something special to open. Working with local schools, social services and other agencies, we make sure the gifts reach the children and families who need them most. No family should have to choose between the heating and a present at Christmas.

Your donation does the shopping for you. Every pound given here helps us buy new toys and gifts for children across our city.

The appeal is only possible because of this community: local businesses, schools and churches who generously give their time and resources every year.

This Christmas, we’d love you to Be a Star and help us make sure no child in Plymouth is forgotten.

Thank you, and a very Happy Christmas to you and yours.
