A community organisation in Lichfield has launched a Christmas toy appeal.

Donations for the Helping Each Other scheme are being accepted at a range of locations including Darwin Care Home on Wissage Road, The White House on Watery Lane and The Dog Inn in Whittington.

Elaine Hutchings, from the group, said:

> “Last year was a huge success and saw in excess of 2,500 toys distributed to families and services in the community.  
>  
> The donations came from local people who pulled together and made so many children happy.  
>  
> “Christmas should not be about material things but one gift can brighten up a child’s face and also take the stress from the parents – we all need to help each other.”  
>  
> Elaine Hutchings

Elaine said people should not underestimate the power of helping the appeal.

> “The impact that these gifts have on families and children is unbelievable – so many people are very thankful.  
>  
> “Unfortunately, we cannot avoid the fact that the situation is deteriorating and more and more families are in need.  
>  
> “Not everyone will be able to donate as they now find themselves in a difficult position, but we will continue to do what we can.”  
>
