Spare a thought for Tins and Toys (From Blackpool Citizen)

Spare a thought for Tins and Toys

6:36pm Friday 14th November 2008 in Tins and Toys Appeal

Donations to The Citizen’s Tins and Toys appeal have continued to flood in this week.

The generosity of Fylde coast residents has been fantastic with local people regularly bringing in items for an appeal that has united the area.

The Christmas campaign makes a real difference to women and child who suffer domestic abuse.

The Citizen is collecting new toys and essential goods for Fylde Coast Women’s Aid, which operates two refuges covering Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.

All we ask if that gifts are new and unwrapped, and tins and unperishable foods are within their sell-by date.

Toiletries for the mothers would also be appreciated, as would nappies and items for babies.

Readers wishing to make a donation can call into our office at 13-13a Clifton Street, Blackpool, during office hours, or call 01253 755019 for further details.
