Derry radio station River FM launches new Christmas Toy Appeal

Gerard Doherty, director of River FM said the appeal is there “to ensure no kid in our city has to go without this Christmas”.

Mr Doherty said people can buy a extra gift in Toytown and put it in the big donation box in store.

Alternatively, people can donate unwanted new or used toys at Toytown and other outlets in the city.

All toys donated will be allocated to the Salvation Army and the Free School Uniform Scheme to help make Christmas magic for all children who might be at risk of going without.

The Derry drop off locations have been confirmed as DW Printhouse in Maydown, Eglinton Variety Store, Eglinton village, Arc Car Wash, Buncrana Road (next to Lidl and Iceland), CBD Lounge- Carlisle Road and Toytown Lisnagelvin.

The Limavady drop off points meanwhile are Roe Chippy and Chipmongers.
