For many of the families living in communities across Tameside, this Christmas will be tougher than ever. The pressure to choose between 'heating or eating' is a heartbreaking reality, and for some, the thought of gifts under the tree feels completely out of reach.
That’s where you come in. We need volunteer drivers to collect toy and gift donations from drop-off points and deliver them to children’s centres, where they make sure that local children living in poverty wake up to something special on Christmas morning. Every toy, every gift, every act of kindness makes a real difference.
Together, we can bring hope, joy, and a little Christmas magic to families who need it most.
