Staff at Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents have launched an appeal for new toys, to give to children in care in Gwynedd this Christmas.

Following successful Christmas present appeals over the last few years, Dafydd Hardy offices will be collecting donations for children in Gwynedd Social Care again this year.

A spokesperson said: “As the festive season approaches, many children under the care of social services face the prospect of a Christmas without gifts. Following a successful 3 years of appeals, we are here again to ask for your help.

“Every child deserves the joy of opening presents on Christmas morning. However, for many children under social care, this is not a reality. These children often come from difficult backgrounds and may have experienced trauma or neglect. A Christmas present can bring them a much-needed sense of hope and joy.

“Whilst times remain difficult for us all, showing your support by spreading the word in person and online also creates a huge impact. If you are in a position to be able to donate, anything from toys, clothes, books, arts & crafts, board games and vouchers would be great.”

Donations can be made at any of Dafydd Hardy offices (Caernarfon, Bangor, Llangefni, Colwyn Bay or Llandudno) up until Saturday the 9th of December and will be donated to Gwynedd Social Care.
