Mayor's Toy Appeal

The Mayor's Toy Appeal in Sefton has supported many families who are struggling for over 25 years.

Christmas is a special time of year for many of us. We want every child to be able to enjoy this joyful and magical time of year without families worrying about the considerable financial pressures on top of the growing cost of living.

Every year, we run the Mayor’s Toy Appeal to gather donations and gifts for children and young people across Sefton and spread Christmas joy.

The Toy Appeal runs from 20th November up to 22nd December. Some donation points will close earlier than others so we will keep you updated on social media.

We are asking for donations of toys and gifts for all ages; from babies right the way up teenagers and young people. We ask that the gifts are donated unwrapped so that we can give the gifts to those kids they suit best. For our older kids, vouchers and online tokens can be a great present.

You can take part in the Toy Appeal this year in a number of ways…
