How Welsh shoppers can<br />

make a child’s christmas<br />

St David’s Toy Appeal to bring Christmas cheer to<br />

children across South Wales<br />

This festive season, St David’s Cardiff<br />

is calling upon its shoppers to ensure<br />

that every child in South Wales<br />

receives a Christmas gift, by launching<br />

its annual Toy Appeal campaign.<br />

From November 9th until 22nd<br />

December, St David’s is asking its<br />

customers to buy an extra gift for a child<br />

in need and drop it off at the in-centre<br />

Donation Stations. From there, a team of<br />

festive helpers will be making sure that<br />

gifts are delivered safely in time to start<br />

the Christmas celebrations.<br />

The appeal, launched in 2015, has seen<br />

the generosity of shoppers donate over<br />

12,500 gifts so far. This year the Toy<br />

Appeal will benefit from the campaign<br />

up to 20 charities, making it the biggest<br />

year yet. Charities taking park include<br />

Barnado’s, Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital<br />

Charity, Ty Hafan, Dreams and Wishes,<br />

and Latch.<br />

Steven Madeley, General Manager for<br />

St David’s, commented: “Each of these<br />

amazing charities provide vital work in<br />

their communities so we’re thrilled to<br />

be supporting even more charities with<br />

the Toy Appeal this year. “The festive<br />

season is always such an exciting time<br />

for us all as we give and receive gifts<br />

with family and loved ones, but for<br />

many children across South Wales this is<br />

something that they aren’t able to enjoy.<br />

We’re asking our shoppers to pick up<br />

something extra this year and buy gifts<br />

or stocking fillers that will make a big<br />

difference to a child in need.” Shoppers<br />

who want to take part can head to one<br />

of two Donation Stations at St David’s,<br />

the first located near the Clogau store<br />

on the lower level and the second near<br />

Watches of Switzerland. There they will<br />

be able to collect a Christmas treat and<br />

an exclusive 10 per cent off voucher for<br />

purchases at Hamleys.<br />

For more information on the Toy<br />

Appeal, visit stdavidscardiff.com/<br />
