For many of us, Christmas is an exciting time of the year with presents to open and a lot of festive cheer but for some children across North Yorkshire, it is just another day.  

 

Every year there are families who through no fault of their own dread the thought of the festive season, and this year will be extremely tough for many as the cost of living crisis continues to bite. 

 

The YorkMix Toy Appeal collects gifts for children of all ages, from babies and pre-schoolers who might recieve traditional toys and games to teenagers who might recieve health and beauty products. 

The appeal makes sure that no child goes without. 

 

You can donate toys directly to the collection points at Asda Monks Cross & Asda Layerthorpe York until Sunday 10th of December and “Santa’s workshop” located outside the South Entrance at York Designer Outlet. This year, the Keeping Digital Foundation are also once again taking donations at all of our Digital Cafe locations, bringing collection points closer to home for many York residents. 

 

You don't need to wrap your gifts, the YorkMix elves will do everything for you. 

 

Donations will be delivered to charities from the 6th December so we haven’t got long!
