This is a message from my niece and an example of just what it means to help just even one family to ensure their kids don’t go without this Xmas - thankyou to those of you who have donated and made this possible as without the donations I simply would not have been able to do this and give tbe support ❤️

“Thank you so much to every single person who has helped me make the Christmas of 3 local little boys (the 4th boy is only 4 months). I dropped the first load of stuff this morning and stupidly didn’t put the megablocks in a black bag because it had a wee handle on it.

The 20 month old saw it and I swear to god I’ll remember the look on his wee face for the rest of my life. I cried the whole way home.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your trust and kindess. So much love to you all ❤️”

CHRISTMAS COLLECTION 🎁

Unfortunately due to health reasons I think this will be the last year that I will be fundraising.

I would love to make it a memorable year, so I ask please give generously. No donation is too small!
Last year we donated a huge amount of toys to sick kids and £2000 worth of vouchers from your donations to Steps to Hope charity.

I want to thank all the loyal supporters who have made this possible over the years.

This year we are supporting several families going through hard times to help them provide for their families at Christmas time 🎅🏼🎁

If you want to donate please get in touch, we can collect presents or you can transfer cash donations directly to me and I will purchase gift vouchers.

Thanks in advance
