Story

Since 1999 BCM & SVP have been working together to provide toys for disadvantaged children at Christmas. All those toys have been donated by local offices, churches, schools and individuals and have made a massive difference to thousands of local children over the years. Last year, Covid 19 made things worse for a great many and so the need for your help was, and remains, even greater. We were delighted that so many continued to donate either through Just Giving or by buying a gift and this year we hope you will do the same again. Christmas is a difficult time for so many. It is the time when financial problems, debts, isolation, family break-up and lack of support are hardest to face. The people that we provide help to come from across all communities, different backgrounds and education levels. They struggle with finding a job, making ends meet or just coping with family issues. Please help if you can. All money raised will be shared equally between BCM & SVP to buy toys/gifts/gift vouchers. Thank you
