Children across the North East may wake up on Christmas morning to very little, or worse still, nothing at all under the tree – something we simply can’t ignore!
Inspired by our friends over at Caterpillar, we’ve decided to get in on the action and do our bit for such an amazing cause, Sun FM’s Toy Appeal.
Tis the Season to Be Generous!
Every year, the local community and its businesses donate to Sun FM’s Toy Appeal, and this year, we decided to get in on the action too!
Sun FM reported that last years Toy Appeal raised over £76,000 worth of gifts, and hopes this year’s efforts are going to be even bigger.
Our client and friends over at Caterpillar inspired us to get involved, along with the support of many other amazing local and nationwide brands, The Bridges Shopping Centre, Smyth’s Toys Superstore and Go North East to name a few.
Over the past few weeks, our amazing staff, their friends & families and some of our amazing clients have donated a whole host of toys for the appeal, something we’re all particularly proud and grateful of.
There will be children across the North East may who may wake up on Christmas morning to very little, or worse still, nothing at all under the tree, so when you’re out getting your last bits of Christmas shopping over the next few days, why not pick up an extra present (or two), and do your bit for an amazing cause.
How to Get Involved
To get involved, all they ask is that the gifts you donate are brand new, unwrapped, and with the amazing assistance of Sunderland’s Salvation Army, who sort all the presents into age groups, they will make sure that the presents are all distributed ahead of the big day.
Like us, pictured above, you can drop your presents off at Caterpillar’s site in Peterlee, 1A Mill Hill, Peterlee, SR8 2HR, or at any of the following locations before 23 December:
- Sun FM Radio, Unit 63-67, Riverview, Business & Innovation Centre, Sunderland Enterprise Park, SR5 2TA
- The Bridges Shopping Centre, Sunderland, SR1 3DR
- Smyths Toys Superstore, Riverside Retail Park, Timber Beach Rd, Sunderland, SR5 3XG
No matter how big or small your donation, it could make such a difference to a child’s day this Christmas, so go on, be a superstar and get involved!
From everyone at Advantex, we’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
