Can you Donate a Cuddle?

A local charity is once again helping collect toys for young people this Christmas.
The Donate a Cuddle appeal by Ella’s Project wants your new and nearly new soft toys and also toys to give to children in the local area.
Donated toys must still display the kitemark.
They can be dropped off at Birchgrove Garden Centre or any soft toys provided to the Harry Drury and The Voice supported Give a Gift appeal will also go to Donate a Cuddle.
You can also donate money with Ella’s Project organiser Mark having again teamed up with Lord’s Collectables.
You can donate at https://www.lordcollectables.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=&q=Toy+appeal
Mark said: “The appeal gives us the opportunity to support those families particularly the children who without our support would have a very bleak Christmas Day.”
