Avon Fire & Rescue Service has welcomed the generous donations from so many members of the community, including an anonymous donation of £7,000 worth of toys, to the annual Christmas toy drop.
Thousands of donated toys have already been received by so many generous people living and working in the area. This week, an extraordinary donation was made possible by a generous member of the community, who would like to remain anonymous. Over the festive period, the toys will be distributed to families in need through local foodbanks and community centres, ensuring the joy is spread far and wide this Christmas.
Speaking about the donation, Father Christmas’s anonymous and incredibly generous team of donors, said: “We’re thrilled to help spread some Christmas magic to families who need it most. This time of year, is about kindness, generosity, and looking out for one another, and we hope these toys bring smiles to children’s faces and lighten the load for parents, guardians and carers. We’d also like to thank the incredible team at Avon Fire & Rescue Service for making this possible and for all the work they do to support the community.”
Firefighter at Bath Fire Station Paul Johnson has organised the toy drop, he said: “We have been overwhelmed by the incredible generosity of the community and are truly amazed by this donation. Every year, we see how these toys make a real difference to families in need. Donations of new or nearly new toys for local families in need are still being accepted however we only encourage people to only donate if they can.”
All stations (except Patchway) accept donations every day, anytime. Thank you for spreading the holiday cheer and helping us bring smiles to children this Christmas!
