🎄🎁 CHRISTMAS TOY APPEAL! 🎁🎄
This Christmas, we’re delighted to be supporting a local Teesside charity by becoming an official toy collection point at Redcar Vets! ❤️
We’re collecting new, unwrapped gifts for children and young people aged 0–16 years, helping to bring a little extra Christmas magic to families who need it most. 🎅✨
🎁 WHAT GIFTS ARE NEEDED?
🧸 0–3 years: Teddies, dolls, rattles, activity toys, musical instruments, stacking toys, shape sorters, bath toys and puzzles.
🚗 3–5 years: Dolls, action figures, educational toys and games, toy vehicles, arts and crafts, books and puzzles.
🎨 5–9 years: Educational games, books, stationery, sports equipment, remote-control cars, building sets, board games and craft or activity sets.
⚽ 9–12 years: Board games, books, stationery, model kits, sports equipment and hair accessories.
💄 13–16 years: Books, make-up, headphones, power banks, hair accessories, toiletries and electrical items such as hair dryers and straighteners.
🎀 A few important things to remember:
* 🎁 All gifts must be NEW and left UNWRAPPED.
* 🔋 If your gift needs batteries, please consider including them.
* ❤️ We cannot accept second-hand or used gifts, homemade or knitted items.
* 🎄 Please avoid gifts that require additional items for the child to be able to use them.
Every single donation, no matter how big or small, can help make a real difference to a child’s Christmas. ❤️
If you’re able to donate, please pop into Redcar Vets and help us spread some Christmas cheer! 🎅
Let’s work together to make Christmas magical for every child. 🎄✨
