Christmas Toybox Appeal

Last year, you helped us raise over 2500 gifts … and it would not have been possible without YOUR support!

This year during these difficult economic times we rely on your support more than ever.

We need your kindness, generosity, and joy once again, as we launch 2014 Christmas Toybox Appeal.

Founded in 2011, Carmarthenshire County Council’s Christmas Toybox Appeal is a local initiative which provides Christmas gifts for families in need. Many can’t afford to buy food, gifts, or toys for their children, and will go to loan sharks in desperation.

Last year the Christmas Toybox Appeal collected and distributed over 2500 gifts, benefitting disadvantaged families across Carmarthenshire.

The Christmas Toybox Appeal has ensured that local children, who might otherwise receive nothing or very little, get a gift at Christmas. Last year families received a Christmas present because of the incredible work of the Christmas Toybox Appeal volunteer workers and donors.

When you’re out and about doing your Christmas shopping this year, please spare a thought for those unfortunate families, and purchase an extra present to donate to this year’s Christmas Toybox Appeal.

Every gift donated will make a difference for families for which Christmas would otherwise be just another day!

What kind of gifts are we looking for?

Gifts for all ages; babies from 18 months up to teenagers. We would appreciate it if you do not wrap your donated gifts, they will be allocated by the team of volunteers who work alongside the families.

Please feel free to donate gift wrap, scissors and sellotape for the volunteers.
