Following the success of last year’s Toy Appeal, Lindfield mum Lisa Giffen is once again on a mission to ensure all local children wake up with a special gift on Christmas morning. Lisa is collecting new toys to support children of families using the Haywards Heath Food Bank. Last year, Lindfield residents generously donated 170 toys, putting smiles on the faces of many local children. This year, residents are being asked to drop off toys at three collection points in the village:
Lindfield Coffee Works
Mark Revill
The Stand Up

“It’s important that the toys for Christmas gifts are new - something parents would give to their own children,” said Lisa, who has put together an Amazon wish list of toys which people can buy while doing their own Christmas shopping. “Last year, the response from Lindfield residents and the local community was amazing,” added Lisa. “This year, the cost-of-living crisis will see many more families struggling at Christmas, so, if residents are able to donate a toy it would mean so much.”
