Ashington care home donates to festive toy appeal
Station Court Care Home in Ashington ran a toy drive in collaboration with the Scarlett’s Helping Hand charity to help ensure that vulnerable and underprivileged children aged 0-18 across the North East receive presents on Christmas morning.
Toys and gifts were donated to the appeal by staff members, visitors and the local community.
Staff were delighted to deliver the gifts to Scarlett’s Helping Hand. The first festive toy appeal was launched in 2020 by Ashleigh Duke and her daughter, Scarlett. They were inspired to help families after the Covid lockdown and to support families in need.
Station Court has built up excellent reputations within its local community, regularly holding events and activities for residents and surrounding neighbours.
Carly Chesney, activities co-ordinator, said: “We are always keen to show as much support as we can to local charities.
“It’s truly amazing to once again see our community come together with so much generosity to make all children across the North East have a magical Christmas morning.”
