edanna Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The Salvation Army run an annual Christmas present appeal. I'm sure some of you are aware of it already, or similar schemes, but thought I'd flag it up. You can drop off presents at branches of Superdrug or there's an SA office near Elephant. I'm not connected with the SA but I well up when I think of children not getting any presents! I emailed them to ask if there was any age group or gender in greater need and they replied:It is great to donate a gift for any age, but we often don't get as many gifts for teenagers, particularly boys. So I'd like to get something suitable for a teenage boy but have no idea what - ideas please! I'm also at a loss what to get my 6 year old nephew because I see him so rarely I have no idea what he's into, so inspiration would be v welcome there too. Thanks in advance!http://www1.salvationarmy.org.uk/christmaspresent Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14574-christmas-present-appeal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
