We thought this year instead of giving gifts to one another, we could give gifts to those more in need.
The Black Country toy appeal are a group of volunteers who passionately believe that no child should go without at Christmas. They reach out to help those struggling with poverty.
If you would like to donate please see the attached list of items needed.
Please note items must be new, not used.
Please see Leanne/Louise to donate.
We will collect all items and donate from Waterfront Surgery as a whole.
Deadline to be confirmed.
