CVS launches its Christmas Toy Appeal for children in the area living in difficult circumstances.
Community & Voluntary Services (CVSCE) are once again holding their Christmas Toy Appeal, now in its 6th year. The appeal is run in aid of Cheshire East children and families that face difficult circumstances this winter and otherwise may not have the magical and joyful experience all children should have on Christmas morning, in finding presents under the tree.
Some of those supported are:
Children who have chaotic home lives with domestic violence and substance misuse a regular occurrence
Families whose loved ones are in hospice for end of life care.
They need your support. By donating a toy or two at a collection point near you, or holding a collection or fundraiser in your place of work would make a world of difference to the local children supported by this appeal. It’s also a fantastic way to get into the festive spirit, as the CVSCE and its previous supporters have found.
The CVS website lists all the collection points across Cheshire East and also has some fun suggestions and resource packs to help you support the appeal on social media, at home or at work. Visit: cvsce.org.uk.
Businesses and organisations who would like to pledge their support and coordinate their efforts can contact the appeal organiser directly on 01270 763 100 or email andrew.luisis@cvsce.org.uk.
Last year, communities really came together and approximately 3000 donations were received from the generous Cheshire East public and many private businesses. The appeal was able to support 45 local Cheshire East charities, non-profits and community groups to provide festive cheer to the deserving families and children they care for directly.
When you’re Christmas shopping this year please consider picking up a little something for this appeal and help CVSCE make 2017 the biggest year yet!
