Recognition Marketing and PR Llp

Recognition PR, the Darlington based national public relations firm, has channelled the spirit of giving to lead a collection for The Salvation Army Christmas Toy Appeal.

This is the second year Recognition has donated to the appeal, which supports local families in and around the town.

The toys have been donated by members of Recognition’s team as well as neighbouring companies on the Morton Palms Business Park where it is based.

During the festive season The Salvation Army extends its faith throughout the local community bringing joy to hundreds of children who sadly live in poverty. The Christmas Toy Appeal is held every year with donations from local business and the public.

The charity works closely with local authorities, to identify the children who may not receive a Christmas present by arranging a visit from Father Christmas.

The Salvation Army is a charitable organisation, that has a membership of 1.7 million and carries out work in 132 countries worldwide. It manages charity shops, homeless shelters and delivers humanitarian aid in developing countries.

Jamie Collis, partner at Recognition, who presented the toys to the Salvation Army along with the firm’s apprentice Natalie Witterick, who organised the collection, said:

“Darlington’s Salvation Army branch does an amazing job in our community supporting families in need throughout the year, but particularly at Christmas, we’re very proud to again support the toy appeal and hope our gifts bring some happiness and fun to the children who receive them on Christmas Day.”
