Many families in our communities face financial hardship and may struggle to provide gifts for their children.
So, we are collecting new, unwrapped toys for children in need, aged 0–18 who may otherwise go without a gift on Christmas Day.
With your help, we can ensure every child experiences the joy and warmth of Christmas.
How your business can support
There are many ways your business can get involved and support our appeal:
- Donate toys and gifts: New, unopened items such as toys, books, toiletries, stationery, and gift vouchers.
- Support parents: Vouchers or small presents for parents are also welcome.
- Provide services: Help with supplying wrapping paper, offer storage, or providing collection boxes.
- Spread the word: Share the appeal with your customers, staff and networks to amplify the impact.
Where to Donate
Dedicated drop-in zones are located throughout Broadland and South Norfolk. For full details, please visit our website.
