North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson will be supporting Swindon Women’s Aid for his annual Christmas Gift Appeal.
Each year Justin chooses an organisation and asks people to donate Christmas Gifts to them – using his office as a collection point. In the past he has organised gift collections for children in care and elderly people at risk of loneliness and isolation.
This year he has teamed up Swindon Women’s Aid and its Christmas Appeal, and is asking people to donate gifts to women and children who find themselves in refuges this Christmas time.
- Women’s gift ideas: Toiletry sets, perfume, slippers, pyjamas, gift vouchers
- Children’s gift ideas (Ranging in ages from 0-18 years, both male & female): Toys, teen toiletries, stationary, books, gift sets
- Food items are also welcome: Non-perishable food hamper items, boxes of sweets chocolate & biscuits, as well as food shopping vouchers.
- Food: Non-perishable Christmas food hamper items, boxes of sweets, , crackers, Asda, Sainsbury, Tesco food shopping vouchers £5, £10 & £20.
Gifts should be unwrapped and can be delivered to Justin’s Community Office: First Floor, Customer Service Hub, Orbital Shopping Park. It is the oval shaped building next to the rear car park. The deadline for donations is Monday 10th December.
Justin Tomlinson MP said: “I am always overwhelmed at the generosity of local residents when it comes to my annual Christmas appeal. Families who find themselves in refuges have experienced great trauma, some of the mothers may have limited funds, or move into a refuge over Christmas and have had to leave presents behind. By donating a gift, you can help families ensure they have gifts to exchange on Christmas Day.”
