We\u2019ve had countless donations of brand new gifts and toys, plus money added to our JustGiving and PayPal fundraisers. We\u2019ve had countless businesses and individuals supporting us and our wonderful donation collection points have been absolutely incredible. There have been fundraisers on our behalf and children using their own money to buy goodies for those who are less fortunate.<br>This year we have sent just under 4,000 gifts to more than 975 people and money and toys left over will be carried forward to next year when we start all over again by providing gifts for special occasions throughout the year.
