Charity shop plea: Donate toys before Christmas to help struggling families

"There's very rarely anything available just before Christmas,"

In the lead-up to Christmas, a heartfelt message from a local charity shop worker offers a new perspective on holiday giving. The worker expressed her wish for families to donate their children’s old toys before Christmas, rather than after, as she sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas searching for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash.

“There’s very rarely anything available just before Christmas,” she explained, “but after the holiday, we’re inundated with donations.”

This simple observation highlights a critical opportunity to make a difference. If families clear out cupboards a few days before Christmas, they could help ensure that children who might not receive many presents have something to unwrap on the big day.

So, if you know your child will be receiving gifts from Father Christmas this year, consider donating early. By doing so, you can help make another child’s Christmas a little more magical.
