With schools returning for the next academic year, I am launching the Toy Appeal to help support the Children’s Centres across Watford and Three Rivers as they work to help families with young children.
Over recent months I have visited nearly all of the Children’s Centres in the constituency to learn more about the work they do and to speak to staff and parents about what help is needed to run the centres. Lots of people told me that they need more toys for the toy library for young people to play and learn with. If you have any toys that your children have outgrown or are keeping in storage please pass them on to the Children’s Centres where they will be greatly appreciated and make a real difference.
The centres are also looking for part and full time volunteers to help out with the different classes and projects that they run. If you can spare any time, this is a great way to get involved in your community and gain useful skills.
If you have a toy, but can’t deliver it, please just call our activists office on 01923 218804, and we will arrange to collect it!
