Share This ARTICLE

Cllr. June Burns, Mayor of Sefton, today (Monday 20 November) launched the borough’s annual Christmas Toy Appeal.

Thousands of generous Sefton residents, council staff, partners, and community groups donate toys, gifts, vouchers, and stocking fillers to some of the borough’s most deserving children every year to make their Christmas extra special. Last year, the appeal helped over 500 Sefton families.

Toys, gift cards, toiletries, pyjamas, and stocking fillers for all ages are all welcome as part of the appeal. Gift cards and toiletries are particularly appreciated by older children and teenagers.

Even a small gift or donation will go a long way, and anything Sefton residents can give, no matter how small, could make a child’s Christmas.

Gifts and vouchers can be dropped off at several locations across Sefton:

Cllr June Burns, the Mayor of Sefton, said:

“For many of our families across Sefton, Christmas can be a time of real pressure and hardship. Each year thousands of people and organisations across the borough kindly donate gifts to ensure we can give everyone some festive cheer.

“All donations are welcome no matter how small and we are looking for gifts for all ages from babies and toddlers to older teens. To ensure my elves can get the right gift to the right child please make sure any gifts donated are new and left unwrapped.”

“I know that our Sefton community will come together to give what they can to support our appeal as they have done for many years.”
