Weymouth-based finance company, Money Matters, has continued its long-standing support for the Christmas Toy Appeal, now in its 25th year, by donating £100 to the cause. This contribution will help ensure that more children in need will have a present to unwrap on Christmas Day.
Key Highlights:
Donation for a Good Cause: Money Matters, which has served the Weymouth community for over 30 years, has made a £100 donation to the Christmas Toy Appeal. The donation will help fulfill the goal of delivering presents to children in Dorset who would otherwise go without.
Brian Sheppard’s Support: Director Brian Sheppard expressed his pride in contributing to such a worthy cause, noting the joy it brings to children during the festive season. He encouraged other local businesses to follow suit and lend their support to the appeal.
Community Effort: The Toy Appeal aims to help over 800 children this year, with 100 additional children added to the list compared to previous years. The community is urged to donate new toys or make financial contributions to meet this heightened demand.
Urgency to Meet Target: Despite the continued generosity, organizers have acknowledged the challenge of meeting the increased target. Debbie Hellaby, brand, marketing, and compliance manager for Newsquest, the company behind the appeal, highlighted the need for further donations, particularly as the deadline approaches on December 18.
How to Help:
Donate: Individuals can still contribute financially, with a £100 donation making a meaningful impact on the appeal’s success. Donations can be made through the Dorset Echo website here.
Toy Bins: Local residents have also been encouraged to drop off new toys at donation bins across the county. These bins have now been collected, and all donations will be distributed to children just before Christmas.
A Community Effort:
Every penny donated to the Toy Appeal goes directly toward purchasing gifts for children in Dorset, ensuring that even those in the most challenging circumstances will be able to experience the joy of receiving a Christmas present.
As the deadline nears, the community’s support remains crucial in achieving this year’s ambitious goal.
