Can you add one more gift to your shopping list to support the Help for Kids Christmas toy appeal?
Loads of people across Dundee and Perth have already done so, but the charity wants even more to ensure as many children as possible have presents to open on Christmas morning.
And here’s how you can help.
Buy a gift – one of those recommended below is best – suitable for any age from birth to 18 years and bring it unwrapped to one of the drop-off points, also listed below, by December 11.
Charity manager Stacey Wallace visited some of the drop-off points this week with photographer Craig Chalmers to thank supporters.
And she said: “We are delighted once again to be working with so many donation points across Dundee and Perth.
“The response is overwhelming and we really do appreciate everyone who gets behind our appeal – thank you!”
