This post, below,has been going around Facebook over the last week:-
“The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children’s old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after. She always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas that might be strapped for cash. looking for toys for their little ones. There’s rarely anything in just before but they get inundated with toys days after.
It really made me think about it in a way I never would have done before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from Father Christmas this year then, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child’s Christmas a lot more special.”
At MBCA we thought that we would share this with our members. This makes an awful lot of sense and could make some less fortunate children very happy this Christmas.
