Cheshire toy appeal helps over 3,700 children this Christmas

A charity based in Knutsford have created sacks for thousands of underprivileged children in Cheshire, Manchester and Lancashire this year.
The sacks each have eight gifts in them, either from generous toy donations – making up around 30% of the toys distributed – or bought with money raised throughout the year.
250 volunteers pack the sacks at Egerton Youth Club, ready for delivery to 110 locations.

Each toy sack is made specifically for each child, based on their age and needs
