Toy appeal aims to help thousands of children

Hackney Local Buyers Club's Winter Toy Appeal aims to provide gifts to 5,000 children in need in north and east London, focusing on areas like Hackney and Haringey. The project, now in its 12th year, helps kids in care or temporary accommodation. To support this appeal, people can donate toys via an Amazon wishlist, make financial contributions through a GoFundMe page, buy discounted toys from local retailers, or drop off donations at the storage hub. This initiative not only assists children but also boosts local businesses and was started to ensure no child goes without a gift on Christmas morning.
