Christmas Toy Appeal

Give Brilliantly to a Local Child in need this Christmas We are delighted to announce the return of the ‘Toy Appeal’, the annual appeal that turns your acts of kindness into hope and happiness for local children who otherwise might have nothing beneath their tree on Christmas morning. We are partnering with Southampton City Council to make sure we can reach every child in need. We are always blown away by your goodwill and generosity. This year, with your help, we hope it’s going to be better than ever. It’s simple to take part: 1. Go to the Toy Appeal station and pick a name tag for someone you’d like to buy for 2. Choose a gift to buy that’s suitable for the child. Please note that food items can’t be accepted 3. Return the gift, unwrapped to our ‘Donation Box’ on Level 3. Santa and his elves do the rest Our Toy Appeal station is located on Level 3, next to Auntie Anne’s. Please make your donation by Thurs December 21st. Your act of generosity could make a huge difference to a child in our community this Christmas. There’s nothing like playing ‘Secret Santa’ to a complete stranger to help you find that special, festive feeling. Thank you for taking part in this wonderful event. It will bring countless smiles to the faces of children in need at this very special time of year. Don’t just Give, Give Brilliantly at Westquay
