Carrying Joy, Bringing Hope
We are a charity, which distributes donated gifts to deprived young people in Nottingham
We put collection boxes in local schools, churches, and businesses, with the request for small, pocket money toys, stationery, books, or items of confectionery. We then sort the donations, gift wrap each item and put 4 or 5 gifts into a red cotton bag to be distributed to young people aged 0-16 via food banks, homeless and refugee charities or organisations which support disadvantaged children.
We believe that every child deserves to experience the magic of Christmas!
