Tameside Toy Appeal 2024
Many of the families living in our communities are facing hardship and living in poverty.
Christmas is, as always, a difficult time of year for many families in Tameside, and the pressure to ensure their children wake up to presents on Christmas morning is huge.
Recent research showed that more than a third of Tameside children are living in poverty.
'Heat or Eat’ will be a real choice for so many families this winter and Christmas is something they simply can’t afford.
So, it's back for 2024, the annual Tameside Toy Appeal and we need your help to reach those children living in poverty...your donation could make a difference this Christmas!
How can you help?
Donations are needed of new and unwrapped toys/gifts for children aged 0-18. The appeal will run from Monday 11 November 2024 until Friday 13 December 2024 (the last day donations will be accepted).
See website here for location details of all drop-off sites. Every gift donated to the Tameside Toy Appeal will be given to a child in Tameside whose family is experiencing poverty.
