🎄 Our Christmas Giving Campaign 2025

Supporting Alder Hey Children’s Hospital

This year, instead of Festive Gifts, we have chosen to give back in a way that makes a meaningful difference.
We are proud to be supporting Alder Hey Children’s Hospital with both a charitable donation and a specialist toy collection to help bring comfort and joy to children spending their Christmas in hospital.

Your support can help us make an even bigger impact.
If you would like to contribute, we are also hosting a toy donation drive, with two convenient drop-off points available.
