Stamford Park Trust Christmas Gift Appeal 2024

25 Nov 24

 

We’re proud to support Stamford Park Trust’s Christmas Gift Appeal, helping to bring the magic of Christmas to local children in need.

We need your help to make Christmas magical for local children who might otherwise wake up on Christmas Day without any gifts to open. Every child deserves the joy of Christmas, and together we can make it happen!

Christmas should be a time for happiness and the coming together of family and friends, sharing gifts and experiencing a magical time together. Sadly, for many in our local communities the financial challenges they face means this magical experience will not happen. For many, without appeals like this they will face waking up on Christmas Day without the magic that Christmas should bring for them with no presents to open.

Over the past few weeks we have been in contact with local primary schools head teachers, family liaison and safeguarding staff to identify children in genuine need of support this Christmas.

We’re asking you to make Christmas better for these children this Christmas by donating brand new toys, games, clothing and much more that we can make into gifts for them. Simply bring your donations to one of our drop off points and we will do the rest!

Your donations can be dropped off at: Longdendale High School, Spring Street, Hollingworth, Hyde, Cheshire, SK14 8LW

We’re asking for toys, clothing items and much more for children of all ages which could include:

  • Board Games

  • Toy Cars, Remote Control Cars, Trains and Train Sets, Model Planes

  • Arts and Crafts Sets, Colouring Sets, Bracelet Sets

  • Children's Books

  • Football, Rugby Balls, Basketballs, Nerf Sets

  • Action figures, Dolls

  • Selection Boxes

  • Hats, Scarfs, Gloves, Socks

If you don’t have chance to get out to the shops or you’re a business who would like to contribute, you can also make a financial donation and we will buy gifts on your behalf.

Join Operation Wrap!

We’re looking for as many helpers as possible to join us:

  • Morning of Saturday, 14th December

If you’d like to help wrap presents, please get in touch with us!

Once the gifts are wrapped and packed into sacks, we deliver them to the participating schools. The schools then coordinate with families to ensure the presents are collected and ready for Christmas Day.

With your help, we can make this a magical Christmas for children and families who need it the most. Let’s work together to bring joy to our community this holiday season!
