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 />

Appeal, visit stdavidscardiff.com/<br />
