Tiggers for Christmas
Melanie May | 9 December 2015 | News
Thousands of children in the UK will receive a Tigger toy this Christmas, thanks to a partnership between In Kind Direct and Disney Store.
Forty-six charities across London and the Home Counties, including hospices, nurseries and family welfare groups, will be receiving the soft toys from Disney Store this December, with parties and events organised to hand them out.
Hornsey Lane Estate Community Association, which runs services to meet the needs of the local community and surrounding areas, is one organisation that will benefit from the scheme this year.
Irene Winter, centre manager, said:
“Our beneficiaries are from under privileged communities where In Kind Direct helps us to add a little bit of dignity to the lives of others. We will be using the Tigger soft toys for Christmas presents for all of the children using our services.”
In Kind Direct redistributes usable products donated by UK manufacturers and retailers, such as overstock, cosmetically damaged goods, and end of line items, to charities, social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations.
