'This appeal not only provides much-needed support to families during the holidays but also showcases the power of reusing items to benefit our community and environment.'
Members of the public are being asked to donate pre-loved toys in order to support local families as Belfast City Council launches its Christmas toy appeal.
Belfast residents are being asked to donate toys and other items in order to help struggling families during the cost of living crisis to any of the city’s four recycling centres - Alexandra Park Avenue , Blackstaff Way, Ormeau, or Palmerston Road - between now and Sunday 15 December. Staff at each centre will direct donors to designated re-use areas for drop-off.
Councillor Ruth Brooks, Chair of People and Communities Committee, said: “The pre-loved toy appeal is a fantastic initiative that brings people together to support families across our city. It’s inspiring to see so many residents participating in such a meaningful way. This appeal not only provides much-needed support to families during the holidays but also showcases the power of reusing items to benefit our community and environment.
