We cannot thank everyone enough for their involvement in our Xmas Toy Appeal this year. Friday saw us hold our Wrap and Pack event in the marquee here at the STF Hub at the Living Well Building.
The day saw more than 60 volunteers from a wide range of companies including Murphys, Vinci and our Foundation partners Morson, Muse, A+B Engineering, VTA Recruitment, Allisons Financial and Integral Legal help wrap, pack and deliver over 2000 presents. These were distributed amongst 50 local schools identified as having pupils with the greatest need as well as homeless families, ensuring the most vulnerable children have something to open on Christmas day.
We were overwhelmed with the generosity of people in the town as they donated gifts to Dunelm, Natwest, REDS Cafe, Smyths Toys, Cosey Homes and Whistles Cafe in Eccleston.
Massive shout out to our partners who donated toys and vouchers – B-Engineering, PepsiCo and Money & Me Solicitors (who ended up wrapping 56 individual footballs!) Also to Bates Office Supplies who very kindly donated Sellotape, Scissors and bin bags for the cause!
Thanks to each and every one of you that donated, wrapped, packed, delivered and supported along the way. With your help, these children will now receive a gift this Xmas.
Without you, none of this would have been possible!
