Christmas toy appeal brings joy to hundreds of families

Chester’s Toy Appeal, organised by Chesterfield FC and sponsored by Brett Martin Ltd, has been another resounding success with over £12,000 worth of toys distributed to hundreds of families!

Marketing manager Bridget Ball expressed her delight at the outcome, saying: “It has been a tremendous effort once again, ensuring that many children receive presents to unwrap on Christmas Day.

“I would like to thank Brett Martin Ltd for their valued sponsorship and John Pye Ltd for providing a collection point and storage.

“Thanks also to KranLee Logistics Ltd for their sizeable donation and to everyone who has donated to the appeal. We could not have done it without all the tremendous support we have received.”

Mark Spacie, managing director of Brett Martin Ltd, added: “As a major employer in the Chesterfield area, we value important community initiatives such as Chester’s Toy Appeal.

“The response to the appeal has been fantastic and we are proud to have played a part in ensuring that many children who would otherwise have gone without will now receive a present on Christmas Day.”

Chesterfield F.C. is one of many Chesterfield Champions who continue to support Chesterfield’s community, with various initiatives.
