The Christmas Toy Appeal 2022

Christmas is for the children. And they need our help…

Can you imagine what it would feel like, as a child, to wake up on Christmas Day and see that Santa hasn’t visited? To not receive a single present?

Can you imagine how you would have felt as a child if this had been you?

This is happening here – in the United Kingdom – in this day & age - in our communities. Within 1km of our homes & workplaces, there are children who will wake up on Christmas Day and see that there are no presents, no stockings, no gifts. This is wrong.

Last year MRL helped to raise over £5,600 from external donors – which we match funded to £11,200 – helping to provide over 500 brand new toys for underprivileged children in Sussex. With the current Cost of Living Crisis making it even harder for those who struggle to make ends meet, it’s more important than ever this year that we come together and get involved.

This year we are aiming to raise £7,500 externally – which MRL will match again – to raise a total of £15,000, allowing us to buy 750 new toys for local children.

We work with local Social Workers and the Salvation Army to ensure that the toys go to those most in need. The children.

Last year a local Social Worker emailed us to say that our toys had “literally saved Christmas” for some of the families she works with in Brighton.

Please give what you can – and MRL will double it – and we’ll do the rest. And if you’d prefer to donate actual toys – please send them to our Head Office in Hove, disclosing who they're from and we’ll make the necessary arrangements. And, again, we’ll match it and double the amount.

Let’s give children the first Christmas present they'll remember forever.

Thank you.
