For many of the families living in communities across Tameside, this Christmas will be tougher than ever. The pressure to choose between ‘heating or eating’ is a heartbreaking reality, and for some, the thought of gifts under the tree feels completely out of reach.

That’s where you come in. Your donation to the Tameside Toy Appeal 2025 can make sure local children living in poverty wake up to something special on Christmas morning. Every toy, every gift, every act of kindness makes a real difference.

Santa’s sleigh is back on the road, and he needs a little help from the #Tameside’s Christmas elves! We’re calling on our amazing community to donate new toys and gifts for children aged 0–18 who might otherwise go without this Christmas.

Together, we can bring hope, joy, and a little Christmas magic to families who need it most.

Thanks to our Toy Appeal partners Tameside MBC, Tameside Family Hubs and Not Really Here Media for their support.

Alternatively, you can also make a monetary donation to our Just Giving page here: www.justgiving.com/campaign/tamesidetoyappeal2025 and the money we raise will be used to purchase gifts for the categories of children we have received the least donations for.

The Just Giving page will remain open for donations until Tuesday 23 December 2025.

The deadline for dropping off your gifts is Friday 12th December 2025
