Join us in making a difference and bringing warmth and smiles to countless faces this holiday season!
The Gift of Giving
As we prepare for the festive season, it's essential to remember the true spirit of the holidays—giving. The Santa's Anonymous toy donation bin is a simple yet powerful way for our community to come together and support families facing financial challenges. Located conveniently at the Leisure Centre, it's never been easier to make a meaningful contribution.
How It Works
The process is straightforward: Upper Windermere community members are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys and place them in the designated Santa's Anonymous donation bin found in the Upper Windermere Leisure Centre. These toys will later be distributed to families who may be struggling to provide gifts for their children during the holiday season. It's a beautiful way to ensure that every child in our community experiences the joy of unwrapping a present on Christmas morning.
What Should I Donate?
Santa's Anonymous is often short on items for infants to 2-year-olds and for 9 to 12-year-olds. Toys with lots of play value make the very best gifts! If a toy can be played with alone or with another child, can be played with many of different ways and doesn't need batteries or electronics - it has lots of play value!
