As 2021 came to a close, hundreds of people across Sefton demonstrated their kindness and community spirit by contributing to the Mayor’s Christmas Toy Appeal.
After another unbelievable year, many families were facing hardship, but thanks to the incredibly generous support of individuals and organisations across the borough, children did not miss out on the special magic of the festive season.
A total of £180 was raised through online donations so that volunteers from Sefton Council could purchase gifts for children of all ages. Thousands of items, ranging from giant teddy bears to junior science kits, were also sent in, meaning 548 children and families received gifts to open on Christmas Day.
Cllr Clare Louise Carragher, the Mayor of Sefton, said:
“The outstanding support and generosity demonstrated by everyone across Sefton means that it has to be one of the best responses we’ve ever seen in the history of the Mayor’s Christmas Toy Appeal.”
The Mayor is writing personal letters of thanks to those across Sefton who went the extra mile to support the initiative. This year a ’12 Days of Kindness’ campaign was also launched to celebrate long standing supporters of the appeal. These 12 organisations and individuals will also receive a certificate signed by the Mayor.
Cllr Carragher said:
“For many of our families across Sefton, Christmas can be a time of real pressure and hardship and the incredible gestures of kindness and self-sacrifice from people right across our Borough has been inspiring.
“I would like to extend a personal thanks to every individual who has played their part in making this year’s appeal the great success it has been.”
