A country-wide toy appeal has rolled into North Norfolk to help make sure children have something under their Christmas tree this year.

The Christmas Toy Appeal from Central Co-op came to Reepham on November 18.

Customers saw the truck as it picked up toys to deliver to those in need, with festivities at the store for all the family to enjoy.

The Toy Appeal, which is running until December 2, is collecting toys via donation points in every store for charities such as Family-Action, The Salvation Army, Rainbows, and – for the first time – Play Action International, which is distributing toys to families in the UK affected by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

Over 10,000 toys were donated last year as a result of the efforts of customers, ensuring that as many children as possible had a gift to open on Christmas Day.
