This Christmas we want to make sure that less fortunate children in Sunderland and surrounding areas get to enjoy something that most of us take for granted.

With a little help from our friends at the Salvation Army we’ll spread some festive joy to children locally this Christmas, no matter what their circumstance – from toddlers to teens.

Can you help?

All you need to do is buy an extra gift whilst Christmas shopping and drop it at one of our donation drop-off points.

This year we are also appealing for essential items:

• Toothpaste / toothbrush / mouthwash
• Body wash or shower gel
• Face and body soap
• Face / baby wipes
• Deodorant
• Combs / hairbrush
• Nail files / clippers
• Menstrual products
• Undergarments – underwear / socks
• Baby formula / nappies

Everyone deserves a gift at Christmas.

Donation Drop-Off Points

• The Bridges Shopping Centre (SR1 3DR)

Your donations will be delivered to loads of worthwhile charities around Sunderland.
