FOR the second consecutive year Carmarthen’s Natwest bank is supporting Carmarthenshire County Council’s Toybox appeal.
The scheme has been launched to help local families in need this Christmas. Carmarthenshire County Council is working with local organisations to deliver the initiative.
Natwest Carmarthen has agreed to act as a collection point for people who want to donate a gift.
People are asked to donate new toys for children and young people aged from birth to 16, for boys and girls. They must be new for health and safety reasons, and the recommended cost is from £5 upwards.
Carmarthenshire’s Deputy Leader and Anti-Poverty Champion, Cllr Pam Palmer, said ”The Christmas Toybox Appeal ensures that donations go directly to those families in need. The appeal is there to help people who may not be able to buy gifts for their children this year, and to prevent them from using drastic measures, such as taking out loans they cannot afford.”
