Over 2,000 Toys Donated In Market Harborough For Christmas Appeal

Organisers of the Toys On The Table appeal are thanking everyone who has supported it this year.

Over 2,000 new toys and gifts have been donated in Market Harborough in recent weeks.

The Hfm-backed appeal will ensure nearly 5,000 disadvantaged youngsters across Leicestershire have presents to open on Christmas Day, when they otherwise would receive nothing.

In total, around 17,000 toys have been donated across Leicestershire, worth over £100,000.

Bill Bowley, vice-chairman of Toys on The Table, is thanking people for their support as they will help a record number of children:

Harborough District Council supported by appeal by allowing the Indoor Market to be used as the collection point.

Council Leader Phil King told Hfm the response has been fantastic:
