THERE can be no Caring Christmas campaign without the support of readers.

We need YOU to:

Make a donation, however big or small, towards buying toys and gifts for children -- from tiny tots with expectant smiles to teenagers who hide their disappointment.

Donations

Please send any donations, with cheques or postal orders made out to Bolton Lions, to: CARING CHRISTMAS APPEAL, Angela Kelly, Features Dept, Bolton Evening News, Churchgate, Bolton, BL1 1DE.

Buy a small gift for a child you will never meet. Just a small, new item can make Christmas special for a youngster.

Donate toys and gifts your own children have enjoyed. Provided that they are in good condition and in working order, secondhand toys can bring enjoyment to many other local children.

All items can be taken along to any of the venues listed on this site. Or bigger items can be collected by Bolton Lions -- their telephone numbers are also listed.

If you feel you can help this vital, festive campaign, you will certainly be sharing in the true spirit of Christmas.
