Rochdale Giving Back: Christmas toy appeal

The 2024 Christmas Toy Appeal has now ended. We'll update this page when we have details of the next toy appeal.

The appeal helps make sure local less fortunate children have presents to open on Christmas Day.

As part of the 'Giving Back' Christmas toy appeal, you can donate gifts so local children living in poverty have a present to open on Christmas Day.

This appeal is organised by the ‘Rochdale Giving Back’ staff-run charity in partnership with Rochdale Borough Council, Rochdale Football Club, Your Trust and Rochdale Town Centre Management.

Support for the Christmas toy appeal

You've helped provide some much-needed festive cheer for thousands of children and teenagers, donating over 40,000 toys since the appeal began in 2014.

In 2023 you donated over 5,000 toys, which council staff, schools and partners in the voluntary sector distributed to local children.

Local businesses and services supporting the Christmas toy appeal

Rochdale Giving Back Christmas Toy Appeal would like to say thank you to the local businesses and services for supporting the 2024 Christmas toy appeal.

This appeal is run by the Rochdale ‘Giving Back’ charity, supported by Rochdale Borough Council. The council does not endorse the organisations supporting the toy appeal, the views they express or the products or services they offer.
