There’s still time to donate to the Borough's Christmas Toy Appeal, aimed at ensuring local children living in poverty have something to wake up to on Christmas Day.

The annual appeal see’s the ‘Giving Back’ charity asking residents and staff to buy one extra present – a new, unwrapped gift suitable for a child between 0-16 and leave it at a local library by Thursday 18 December. The council, who collected over 300 toys last year, will make sure they reach less fortunate children in time for the big day.

Mark Jones from the ‘Giving Back’ charity said hundreds of children in our borough won’t be expecting a present from Santa this Christmas: “So far the response has been good, gifts have started to roll in and we are hopeful of collecting more than last year. Everything is really high quality and we have been touched by everyone’s generosity. It’s hard to register that for some children it will be their only present, but let’s make it a good one."

Toys can be dropped off at collection points located at every library in the borough.
