My job gives me the incredibly special opportunity to make a difference to people's lives, and last month I launched my annual Christmas Toy Appeal which aims to give local children a magical Christmas. I am so grateful to those who have donated toys so far, and I will be delivering these gifts to the Salvation Army next Friday so that they can distribute them to local children who would otherwise not receive any gifts these Christmas. There is still time to donate toys though- please deliver any toys, cuddly toys, colouring books and more to 1 Meal Market, Hexham, or call 01434 239 205, but new toys only please! You will be making a huge difference to children in our local area.
