"We want to remind people that the most simple essential for most people is something that currently some families are struggling to afford. “We are also trying to source a copy of the book The Night Before Christmas for each family who receives a toiletry pack and hope this classic story will provide the families with a moment to treasure together this Christmas, whatever age the child is.

“We are really working hard to spread the word of the work we do. We hosted a winter warmer event recently in Clayton Brook and gave baby and toddler coats, blankets and warm weather items to 28 families.

“The spread of our event on Facebook led to a further 21 referrals in 24 hours.”

People can drop off items at: Tiny Teacups, Bamber Bridge; Preston City Trampoline Club on Mondays between 11am and 2.30pm;
