Since 2010, St Helens Borough Council has run a gift appeal for children aged from birth to 21 years at risk of waking up on Christmas Day without a present. During that time, tens of thousands of items have been donated, with last year's appeal alone resulting in gifts being shared out between more than 800 children and young people - including care leavers. The response to their previous appeals has been phenomenal and the results have spoken for themselves. Last year, over £4,500 was raised, plus gifts and other items donated from businesses, schools and residents across St Helens borough.
