We recently visited a couple of wonderful local charities who do annual toy drives to donate gifts that are to be distributed to local children in time for Christmas.
It was an eye opener to talk with the lovely Charity Manager Sam at the Wave 105 distribution warehouse in Winchester. There are so many children in poverty in our area – every gift really does count towards a child having a happier Christmas morning.
A special shout out to Dave of Damar Scaffolding for putting us in touch with Sam, Damar kindly provide the huge tables needed to pick and pack the thousands of toys and gift that pass through each year.
So if you’d like to donate, here is all the information you need;
Wave 105 Mission Christmas –
Mission Christmas is here to help Santa reach children living in poverty. If you’re able to, please take a new and unwrapped gift to one of our drop-off points, donate cash or gifts online or sign up and get involved with some fundraising. We guarantee your support will mean that a child who’s at risk of waking up to nothing on Christmas Day will have something to open.

Scratch –
Providing Toys and Gifts To Children And Young People Who Might Otherwise Go Without Presents Who Are Referred By Our Trusted Referral Agents.
We know that money is going to be tight for so many people this year and that the project will be needed more than ever. You can help us by purchasing a gift from our Wish Lists (and delivery will come straight to us at Scratch).
