Rochdale Riverside are supporting the Christmas Toy Appeal

Supporting Rochdale Council’s Christmas Toy Appeal

We’re delighted to once again support Rochdale Borough Council’s ‘Giving Back’ Christmas toy appeal – a campaign that supports local children living in poverty so they have a present to open on Christmas Day.

This appeal is organised by the council’s staff-run charity ‘Giving Back’.

Over 5,000 toys were distributed to local children across the borough in 2022 by the council’s staff, schools and partners in the voluntary sector.

When you’re shopping for Christmas gifts, if you’re able to support the appeal why not pop an extra gift in your shopping basket – from toys for little ones to fun games and gift sets for older children – you can donate any toy or gift which is:

  • New
  • Not gift wrapped
  • Suitable for a child aged 0–16 years old

The appeal would particularly welcome presents for babies and teenagers.

We’re a drop off point!

Please drop off your gifts for the toy appeal at the management office at Rochdale Riverside, located near Puttstars on level one (use the entrance next to Nando’s). You can drop off presents until Wednesday, 13th December 2023.
