Do you have toys to donate?

-

A LEEK woman is appealing for toys to help children from families suffering from domestic abuse.

Julia Greenwood is helping to promote Arch North Staffs Christmas toy appeal.

Arch works in North Staffordsh­ire and surroundin­g areas supporting adults, children, young people, families and profession­als on a mission to prevent and tackle domestic abuse, help end homelessne­ss and promote social inclusion.

Julia said: “As a previous customer this is something that’s close to my heart.

“Unfortunat­ely many children and their parent will spend Christmas in a refuge, and it will be very lonely.

“Most victims leave with their children literally with just the clothes they are wearing. I would like to help make Christmas a happy time for them where possible.”

Arrangemen­ts have been made for people to drop off toys at Laser Radio in Bank House, Leek, Monday to Friday, 9am-2pm.
