Buy a toy for a needy child

by isleofman.com 28th October 2011

The Salvation Army and Isle of Man Bank have teamed up once again in a Christmas Toy Appeal for the Island's neediest families.

It's the seventh year the two organisations have appealed to the Manx public to donate gifts for children from birth to age 16.

Last year the Salvation Army distributed around 1,000 presents to 300 children who otherwise might have had nothing to open on Christmas morning.

The project runs throughout November and members of the public who would like to help are asked to buy one extra gift and leave it unwrapped at any branch of Isle of Man Bank.

Isle of Man Bank Athol Street branch manager Denise Kelly says the aim is to eliminate the possibility any child in the Island is without a present on Christmas Day.
