CENTRAL Co-op’s annual Christmas Toy Appeal will come to Barnsley at the start of December.

The store, on High Street in Dodworth, is currently taking donations to ensure children will have a gift to open on Christmas morning.

The shop’s ‘Toy Appeal Van’ will come to the town on Wednesday, December 4 at 2pm.

Andy Seddon, the society secretary at Central Co-op, said: “We believe that no child should go without a gift on Christmas.

“The Toy Appeal invites local shoppers to donate new, unused toys or games that will be distributed to children in need through local and national charities.

“Your donation could be the very thing that makes a child’s Christmas extra-special - and that’s something worth celebrating.”
