As we head into our busiest time of the year, we wanted to share a little update. 🎄🎁

From 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿, we’ll be taking a little pause from accepting pre-loved donations 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲, unless they are specific items we’ve asked for.

This will give our volunteers a chance to catch up on sorting through the donations we’ve already received, before focusing on preparing Christmas gifts and arranging collections for schools and professional services. 💚

🎁 𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗔𝗦 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦

We are still very much welcoming 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗦 for our Christmas Appeal, and all our usual drop-off points will remain the same!

💚 𝗪𝗘’𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗦!

Our referrals for pre-loved essentials 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻, and we’ll continue to accept and action requests to support local children and families who need us.

This pause is simply to help us get organised behind the scenes while continuing the work that matters most. 💚

Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity and understanding. We couldn’t do what we do without you! 💚

Wow!! Airedale Baby and Children’s Bank community, what a day!! 💚🙌

A huge thank you to everyone who came to collect their items within the allocated timeframe today. It really is appreciated and makes such a difference to us.

And another massive thank you to everyone who called in with both new and pre-loved donations, along with lots of lovely items for Christmas! 🎁🎄

As you can see from the photos, I literally couldn’t move at one point! 🤣

We really couldn’t do what we do for families across the Wakefield district without the kindness and generosity of you all.

This year, instead of doing their usual Secret Santa, members of Crusaders MCC decided to do something a little different and each buy gifts from our Christmas wish list to support local children. 🎁🎅🏻

A huge thank you to everyone involved and to Cllr Brett Muscroft, Liz Roberts and Andy Spears for calling in today to drop everything off.

Such a lovely thing to do and we’re so grateful for all your support. These gifts will be going to local children across the Wakefield district through referrals from local schools and other professionals this Christmas.
