The Hinckley and Bosworth Christmas Toy and Food Appeal
St Bernards Day Nursery • October 27, 2023
The Hinckley and Bosworth Christmas Toy and Food Appeal has been running since 2009 and has grown every year since its launch.
The appeal is a huge partnership effort between Leicestershire County Council’s Children and Family Wellbeing Service, the Salvation Army and the Hinckley and Bosworth Food Bank, as well as numerous other partners and supporters.
Each year, it provides hundreds of struggling families with toys and food vouchers, all thanks to the generosity of local groups, churches, businesses, and members of the public.
Last year’s appeal was the biggest yet, with brand-new toys given to 910 children and food vouchers helping 386 families.
Partners, supporters and families celebrated the success of the appeal and are hoping 2023 will top last year’s record for donations collected and given out.
Donation bins are located throughout Hinckley, where people who would like to do their bit to ensure a child gets a present on Christmas Day can drop off their gift of a brand-new toy. The bins also feature a QR code for the appeal’s Amazon wish list – donors can select a toy and order it to be sent directly to the organisers.
We have a donation bin situated by the Little Learners entrance door down through the side gate for anyone wishing to bring along donations.
For October’s Activity of the Month, we are inviting our families to support Hinckley Foodbank by donating one or a few items to help local individuals and families in need 🍂🧡
