That is a Christmas Appeal wrap for another year!
What another amazing year this year has been, not just for our charity but for our festive arm too.
It must be a record Sleigh2Give in history!
We have received more than over 1,600 estimated plus gifts – all from our fabulous community, and even as far afield as Plymouth, all enabling us to spread cheer, joy and smiles to children and families in hospitals, hospices, the vulnerable, and those less fortunate.
And, as we have had another overwhelming number of gifts this year than ever before, we will be able to continue some deliveries gifting out toys in January, including Reading children’s wards, and others by referrals, which is just astonishing
We never take for granted the kindness and generosity of the community and so this year when we launched our 9th annual festive drive in late September we wasn’t sure how the response would go from the public, but, as always our community of incredible supporters have come out trumps again and we’ve been truly overwhelmed more than ever before by the sheer amazing generosity that we have received. We never ceased to be amazed all year round by the love and support we receive, and our toy and gift appeal is no exception
This year more supporters than ever before have come on board!
Sleigh2Give is all about spreading, cheer joy and smiles in abundance and we have done this once again this month with more donation zones than ever before.
From over 1,600 plus donations of new toys, story books, puzzle books, games, sensory toys, baby items, jigsaws, puzzles, toiletries, selection boxes and soft toys to arts and crafts, footballs, garden games, and more we are literally all elved out!
As well as all the individuals who have given so generously at our various donation zones, or into supermarket trollies, we would like to say thank you to all the 40 plus companies, schools, groups; dance schools and sports clubs for being involved and being a part of the record breaking Sleigh2Give 2023
And a huge thank you to BizSpace Didcot for sponsoring our charity and providing free storage space for our charity
