Pupils at the Infant School have been busy collecting toys and
gifts that can be passed on to local children that are less
fortunate than themselves via the Bolton Lions.
Volunteers are working tirelessly at the Lions to collect toys
from local schools, churches and businesses. This year has seen a
doubling of the requests for gifts for poorer children, although
the people of Bolton have been donating more than ever too. The
Caring Christmas Appeal is run each year and aims to help families
who cannot afford to buy presents for their children; this year it
is being given wide publicity by the Bolton News and Tower FM.
Lion Tony Murphy said: "we are always grateful to Bolton School
Infants' School; this is one of our big collection points each
year. Now the job of putting toys, games and gifts for children in
bags ready for delivery has begun at the industrial unit where the
donations are stored. We need to get them back to schools who will
then give the gifts out to parents before the Christmas break."
