Thanks to a new partnership with Ella’s Project, this year our Give a Gift appeal is able to accept monetary donations for the first time.
The relationship between Mark Le Sage, founder of Ella’s Project, and Pinchbeck-based Lord Collectables has enabled us to open up the appeal to accept cash donations.
For every donation made, Lord Collectables will buy and donate toys to the appeal.
The company has got the ball rolling by kindly donating £100 worth of toys.
Visit the website: www.lordcollectables.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=&q=toy+appeal to make a donation.
By clicking on the link you are able to donate whatever you can, whether it is £1 or £10, every penny will go into the pot to purchase toys for the appeal.
Of course, you can continue to purchase gifts yourself and drop them off at one of our collection points but this allows those who are unable to do so, a way to support us.
We have already received many gifts for this year’s campaign but we still need more presents.
Launched by Coun Harry Drury, the appeal makes a huge difference to struggling families across South Holland and Boston, ensuring children who wouldn’t get a present have something to open on Christmas Day.
The appeal closes on Sunday, December 11 so there’s still time to pop an extra gift in your basket while you’re doing your Christmas shopping.
We’ll be delighted if you decide to support the appeal but ask you please not to gift wrap your present – they need to be assessed to ensure children receive suitable toys.
Give A Gift helps ensure less fortunate children aged between three and 14-years -sold have a gift to open on Christmas Day.
All presents will go to South Holland and Boston Child Services to distribute in time for Christmas.
Collection points this year are: DGG Property Consultants, Pinchbeck Road, Spalding; Spalding Fire Station, West Elloe Avenue (go to the reception door or leave gifts in the porch); Courtyard Footcare, Health and Beauty, 66 Swan Street, Spalding, Sainsbury’s, Holland Market, Spalding, Nat West, Market Place, Spalding and Spalding Travel.
