A toy appeal has been launched in Salisbury with the aim of providing a Christmas present for children from families who might otherwise go without this Christmas 🎁

Salisbury's annual Toy Appeal launched this month on Salisbury Radio, and it is estimated that over 500 children could benefit from the toy appeal. The local community is being asked to help make a child's Christmas a little bit more special✨

Salisbury residents are being encouraged to purchase an 'extra present' this Christmas and drop it off at one of the drop-off points, or they can also donate via the JustGiving Page:

https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/great-toy-appeal-salisbury-2024

Once the money has been collected, the team will complete a trolley dash at Symths Toys in Salisbury before the presents are handed over to the pantries. The toy superstore on Churchill Way West is supporting the appeal by helping the team with the trolley dash and donating money to the cause 💕

You can drop a present off at the following locations:

Snow Bar at Christmas on the Square - Salisbury Guildhall Square

Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm - Amesbury Road, Cholderton

Fexco Property Services - 84 Fisherton Street, Salisbury

JCP Engineers - Mills Way, Amesbury

Ozweld International Ltd - Barnack Industrial Estate, Wilton

Protyre - Edison Road, Churchfields Ind Estate, Salisbury

Porton Garden Aquatic and Pets - Porton

The deadline for donating to the toy appeal is Friday, 13th December, so toys can be sorted before the pantries distribute them. Thank you! 🥰
