We are lucky that the people who fill our collection boxes are so generous that we can pack our bags with good quality toys for children aged up to 12. Finding gifts for teenagers, however, is not so easy and we have to buy some gifts from our partner charities. 

We also have to buy collection boxes and labels to go in our collection points and then, when they come back to base everything is wrapped and put into our trademark red bags ready to be distributed. We have to raise funds for all our wrapping, bags, boxes and publicity for each campaign and, as requests for our services increase, so do our costs.

We have already invested in racking and storage boxes, but we plan to purchase additional storage as we expand. We need to raise enough funds so that we can give each young person a gift that they will remember and will know that, through the generosity of strangers they are not forgotten.
