Christmas Present Appeal
The Students’ Union needs your help to make Christmas special for children who have little or nothing under the tree on Christmas morning.
The Students’ Union are appealing to Staff and Students to donate new unwrapped toys and gifts for children who might not otherwise receive a Christmas present.
The gifts will then be wrapped and distributed to those in need, via the Students‘ Union and the Welcome Centre.
Suggested Gift List for Children and Young People:
- 0-3 years: dolls, teddy bears, cot mobiles, baby clothes, bath toys, CDs of suitable music and nursery rhymes, puzzles
- 3-5: dolls and action figures, cars, lorries, DVDs and CDs (music and nursery rhymes), colouring sets, pencils, crayons, books, puzzles
- 5-9: educational games & toys, stationery (colouring sets, pencils, crayons, school sets), CDs & family friendly DVDs, books, puzzles, wordsearch, crosswords
- 9-12: games and toys, stationery, CDs, DVDs, books, T-Shirts, hair accessories, gloves, scarves, hats
- 13-16: CDs, DVDs, books, make-up and toiletries (please try to ensure non-allergic ingredients if possible), gloves, scarves, hats, T-Shirts, hair accessories
(We believe every child deserves a new gift at Christmas so we are unable to take used or second hand items for the Christmas Present Appeal.)
By giving a gift to our Christmas Present Appeal you can make a real difference in someone’s life at Christmas.
Please bring your unwrapped Christmas Present to the Students’ Union Advice Centre or directly to Santa on Friday 8 December on University Square.
