‘Amazing Support’ For Toys On The Table Appeal

Organisers of the Toys On The Table Appeal are thanking people for their ‘amazing’ support.

Around 3,000 brand new toys and gifts have been donated in Market Harborough over the past few weeks, by individuals, businesses and community groups.

The HFM-backed appeal will ensure 3,870 disadvantaged children across Leicestershire have at least one present to open on Christmas Day when they otherwise wouldn’t.

Bill Bowley, vice-chairman of the Toys On The Table charity, is thanking everyone who has donated:

The Well in Kibworth also acted as a collection point for the appeal this year.
