How to make a<br />
child’s Christmas<br />
St David’s Toy Appeal is back!<br />
This festive season, St David’s Cardiff<br />
annual Toy Appeal is back for its fifth<br />
year, and after putting smiles on the<br />
faces of thousands of children facing<br />
hardship in our communities, they<br />
need your help.<br />
The Toy Appeal has supported over 40<br />
incredible charities and organisations in<br />
Wales, and St David’s wants to continue<br />
the success of previous years and make<br />
this year one to remember yet to ensure<br />
that every child in South Wales receives<br />
a Christmas gift.<br />
From 30th November until Christmas,<br />
St David’s is asking its customers to buy<br />
an extra gift for a child in need and drop<br />
it off at the in-centre Donation Station<br />
where a team of festive helpers will be<br />
making sure that gifts are delivered<br />
safely in time to start the celebrations.<br />
The appeal, launched in 2015, has<br />
seen the generosity of shoppers donate<br />
over 36,000 gifts so far. Charities taking<br />
part will include Barnardo’s, Noah’s Ark<br />
Children’s Hospital Charity, Ty Hafan,<br />
Dreams & Wishes, Valley’s Kids and<br />
Latch.<br />
James Waugh, General Manager for<br />
St David’s Cardiff, commented on the<br />
appeal: “I’m really looking forward to<br />
seeing what our Toy Appeal can achieve<br />
this year. Over the past four years,<br />
our shoppers have shown incredible<br />
generosity which has allowed us to<br />
donate more and more toys to amazing<br />
charities that provide such vital services<br />
in the community.<br />
“As we celebrate our fifth year of the<br />
initiative, we would love to see that<br />
continued support from our shoppers<br />
and local businesses that have helped<br />
us achieve our mission to ensure more<br />
children across South Wales have a<br />
Christmas to remember. All we ask is you<br />
pick up something extra when buying<br />
your gifts and help us smash our target<br />
for another year!”<br />
Shoppers who want to take part can<br />
head to the Donation Station in the<br />
centre, located near the Clogau store.<br />
