For the past two decades, Jeanette, as Mother Christmas has been delivering joy to Northamptonshire’s most disadvantaged children.
Jeanette, who grew up in care, knows the joy a brand new gift can bring a child who feels unloved, neglected or forgotten. She has tirelessly worked since 2002 to bring joy to these disadvantaged children. She is asking for your help with the annual Christmas gift appeal by donating presents to be passed on to local children who are in need this Christmas.
And once again, this year, Richard James will be helping to organise the Christmas gift collection service from our offices, in conjunction with the Northamptonshire Telegraph.
We have had many wonderful donations so far this year but we would love to do more!
The donation deadline for the Christmas Toy Appeal is also fast approaching! If you’d like to brighten a child’s Christmas with a brand-new toy, make sure to drop off your donations by Thursday 12th December.
Let’s come together, spread some holiday cheer, and make this season a little brighter for those who need it most.
Please donate any new, not used toys (please ensure they are in their original packaging) to one of our offices as below by Thursday 12th December 2024.
Wellingborough Office: 27 Sheep Street, Wellingborough, NN8 1BS
Rushden Office: 74 High Street, Rushden, NN10 0PQ
