Christmas Gift Appeal 2025

We are asking kind-hearted residents, businesses and organisations to come together to help us plan to make Christmas 2025 extra special for some of the borough's most disadvantaged children and young people by supporting our Christmas Gift Appeal. If you would like to donate a gift to the appeal, and bring it to the event, you could drop it off at one of our town centre drop off points. You can find out more about the Gift Appeal and the drop off locations here.
