Mission Christmas

Date published: 10 November 2015


Last year Martin & Co took part in KEY 103 Mission Christmas and they are doing so again.

Martin & Co is acting as a drop off point, meaning members of the public can drop presents off here for them to take to the warehouse for distribution.

The mission will officially begins on 16 November, when they can start collecting presents at their Rochdale office.

Please remember that gifts must be new, unwrapped and suitable for children between new born and 18, both boys and girls.

Presents do not have to be expensive, any gift is fully appreciated and certainly will be enjoyed by the children that get to open them.

Over £1.6 million worth of toys were delivered last year by the Key 103 scheme, helping over 37,000 children.

There are still one in three children living in poverty, with Greater Manchester having the fourth highest levels of child poverty in the country.

Mission Christmas will not solve the poverty statistics but will help to ensure that as many children as possible wake up with a present on Christmas day, no matter what their situation.
