Thanks to everyone who has donated to this year’s Give A Gift campaign so far, but we still need more presents.
The appeal makes a huge difference to struggling families across South Holland, ensuring children who wouldn’t get a present have something to open on Christmas Day.
The Spalding and South Holland Voice has teamed up with Coun Mark Le Sage, founder of Ella’s Project, again this year.
Thanks to Mark’s partnership with Lord Collectables, we are able to accept monetary donations again this year.
Visit https://www.lordcollectables.com/?s=Toy+Appeal+Donation&product_cat=&post_type=product to donate and Lords will buy the toys at trade price to donate to the appeal.
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.
We respectfully ask that the gifts are in new or ‘as new’ condition and we are unable to accept cuddly toys, make-up, toiletries or food and perishable items due to health and safety.
Give A Gift helps ensure less fortunate children aged between three and 14-years-old 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.
