We are running a Christmas Gift Appeal here at No1 Whitehall Riverside in hopes to support Leeds Children’s Charity as our end of year event!
Information from Leeds Childrens Charity:
Gift donations make a wonderful difference for the young people we work with and support!
All gifts donated are distributed across our partners (social services/partner schools and other community groups) to ensure as many children as possible and families in need this Christmas can receive some gifts and a little bit of extra help this year. Our partnered schools are those who serve the communities in Leeds that are in the highest indices of multiple deprivation. We also work with fabulous community and other charitable groups who work in the heart of some of the most deprived areas in Leeds, who deal with families on a day-to-day basis.
Ideas for gifts could be anything really from babies to teenagers. We seem to get fewer gifts for boys and older children so cosmetics, bath sets, slippers, pj’s, scarves, gloves, jumpers, rucksacks – things like these go down really well. Board games are a good one too, arts and crafts, pencil cases etc.
Unwrapped is preferable, as we can allocate specially to children’s likes, although it’s no problem if you’d like to wrap them – they will just need a label to say age and gender/ type of toy.
We would like give huge thanks to anyone who is able to donate this year!
All donations need to be in by 8th December and can be handed in at the main reception
