Christmas wrapped up for those who donate!

Following the success of a fun filled weekend with Elvis and Santa (see Toy Box appeal has officially launched!) Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel and Spa will be continuing to support our appeal by wrapping Christmas gifts in exchange for donations. The donations will go towards both our Toy Box appeal and another great childrens charity Tŷ Hafan, who offer care to children and young people with life limiting conditions.

The difference you could make with just one gift is priceless. That gift will not only bring a smile to a child’s face this season, but it will offer stability to a child for a long time to come; with the gift acting as a form of comfort that has previously been taken away.

The Hotel and Spa are kindly offering this service to give back to all of our contributors – “I have lots of rolls of Christmas paper in my car thanks to the generosity of International Greetings” Sharon Adams explains. International Greetings is a leading gift packaging distribution company who have charitably donated wrapping to make this opportunity possible, so a great deal of thanks goes out to them, as well as the Hotel and Spa.

The service will run between 10am-5pm Saturdays and 11am-5pm Fridays and Sundays, starting this Friday the 6th December, to Sunday the 22nd. Bring along a brand new toy and you can find the team in their pop up shop at unit 5 on the ground floor of the Capitol shopping centre.

Staff and volunteers at KidsOut will also be getting in on the Christmas spirit, wrapping generous donations to hand out to disadvantaged children at a Christmas party – just one example of where the toys will go. We have so far had over 100 toys (and counting) kindly donated to us by Churches and Schools, so another huge thank you is due.
