ROTHERHAM CARE HOME LAUNCHES ANNUAL APPEAL FOR KIDS’ CHRISTMAS CHARITY
05/12/22
Residents of Moorgate Lodge care home in Rotherham are helping children in their community by launching a toy collection as part of the Cash for Kids Mission Christmas campaign.
In what has become an annual event, staff at the care home are asking friends and family to donate new toys at the collection point in the home’s reception, which the team will drop off in the week running up to Christmas Day.
The toys will be delivered by the charity to children who may not receive gifts this year.
Cash for Kids supports children and young people affected by poverty, abuse, neglect, life-limiting illness and those who have additional needs. Mission Christmas encourages ‘secret Santas’ to buy an additional new and unwrapped gift, which will be distributed to those who may be going without this Christmas.
Lisa Goodall, home manager at Moorgate Lodge, said: “We’re delighted to be doing the Mission Christmas appeal again this year. Last year was a great success, and we filled a huge box and two large bags with toys and games.
“This season there is a box in our reception Monday to Friday and we’re encouraging visitors and staff, who want to participate, to buy an additional toy or game and to put it in the box to brighten the festive season of local underprivileged children.
“The collection is open until the week before Christmas. We’d love to do as well as we did last year and put smiles on faces this Christmas.”
Irene Coggan, 92,a resident at Moorgate Lodge, said: “We love helping the local community, and I’m really glad that we’re doing the toy appeal again this year. Christmas is such a special time for children, and it’s heart-breaking to think some won’t have anything to open. I hope we get lots of lovely presents for them.”
