Sunny Govan Festive Toy Appeal
Help us put a smile on a local child’s face this Christmas.
The holiday season is a time for joy and togetherness, but for many families in our community, it can also bring stress and hardship.
This year, in partnership with University of Glasgow's College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences, we are supporting the Sunny Govan’s Festive Toy Appeal.
In Govan, 40% of children live in poverty, with many parents struggling to afford the basics, let alone a special gift for Christmas. That’s why we’re supporting the Season of Giving: Sunny Govan’s Festive Toy Appeal this year, with one simple goal: to ensure every child in our community wakes up to the joy of opening a gift on Christmas morning.
For many families, Christmas can be a painful reminder of what they can’t provide. But with your help, we can turn it into a time of joy and hope. Every toy or donation makes a difference, helping to bring a smile to a child’s face. Together, we can make sure that no child in Govan goes without a gift this holiday season.
Donations accepted until Monday 16th December.
Your kindness brings a brighter Christmas to our community’s children.
Thank you for your generosity.
