This year’s Love Bury Toy Appeal is now LIVE! Every year the Salvation Army combines forces with Churches Together in Bury to collect toys for families caught in the cost-of-living crisis.
Last year we were amazed by the generosity of businesses, shops, churches and members of the public in their generosity. We are confident that this year will see similar Christmas spirit!
The Christmas story tells of the Wise Men who travelled from afar to bring gifts to the infant Jesus. Their gifts were more than presents; they were a way of showing that this child mattered. That same spirit of generosity is at the heart of the Love Bury Toy Appeal. It's a wonderful example of our community coming together — neighbours, businesses, churches and local organisations — to look out for one another. A simple gift can bring a smile to a child's face and remind a family that they haven't been forgotten. Together, we can help make Christmas a little brighter for everyone.
We now have two prominent collection points at The Rock and Mill Gate shopping centres. We are very grateful for their support in partnering with us this year.
The donation points will be open from Monday 9th November to Friday 4th December 2026.
