Our Christmas toy appeal for 2022 has come to an end and we have been absolutely overwhelmed with the response! We’d like to send a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to our toy appeal and took the time to drop toys into our three branches in Rushden, Wellingborough and Irthlingborough.
The toys have now been passed on to the Evening Telegraph newspaper. They will be distributed to children who are less fortunate across East Northants. Jeanette Walsh, who goes by the name of ‘Mother Christmas’, will be handing out the gifts as she has done for many years now.
Richard Taylor, Director at Richard James added: “We’re really just taken aback by how kind people have been with their donations, especially considering how tough things are financially right now. The quality of the toys this year has been unbelievable. If you’ve donated, and you know who you are, thank you!”
