Caerphilly County Borough Council’s annual Christmas appeal Operation Santa is aiming to support more than 650 children in the area again this year.
The children are not helped by any other appeal and have been nominated by social workers who work with families across the county borough.
Operation Santa is also pleased once again this year to be helping families who are working with Llamau, Action for Children, Home-Start and Gofal Cymru.
Local people can pledge to buy a gift and choose the age, gender and geographical area of the recipient.
It is easy to get involved – either call the pledge hotline on 01443 866577 or email operationsanta@caerphilly.gov.uk and pledge to buy a present for a child. The deadline for pledges is Saturday December 3 2011.
The gifts can then be delivered to one of the collection centres situated across the county borough by Tuesday December 13 2011.
Collection Centres are at:
- Barclays Bank, Ystrad Mynach,
- Lloyds TSB Bank, Rhymney,
- Risca Family Centre, Risca,
- Visit Caerphilly Centre, Caerphilly,
- Customer First Blackwood,
- Customer First Pontlottyn
- Harper and Wallis, Estate Agent, Hanbury Road, Bargoed.
