Christmas is a time of giving and good cheer, but how would you feel if you received no gifts, or special treats over the festive period? For many people living in Norfolk this would be the story if it wasn't for the annual Toys And Tins Appeal, which is supported by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Norfolk. Organised by The Salvation Army, the appeal works with various local support agencies. Together they identify vulnerable or older individuals, or disadvantaged families in the community, who would benefit from food parcels or gifts during this special time of year. Last year, Toys And Tins helped hundreds of people in the county, thanks to your donations of food, toys and gifts. Local businesses also make huge donations and discounts to support the appeal.
