Instant Neighbour is thrilled to announce the launch of its 33rd Giving Tree Appeal, Councillor John Cooke inaugurated the campaign this week, accompanied by representatives from their dedicated supporters, who gathered at Cognito at the Cross to collect the tags.
This year, Instant Neighbour aims to spread festive joy by providing gifts for over 4000 children who may otherwise go without during the holiday season. The Giving Tree Appeal, a heartwarming initiative, has garnered unwavering support from local businesses and the general public alike. It is a testament to the community's commitment to ensuring that no child is left without a gift at Christmas.
Why Support the Giving Tree:
Instant Neighbour firmly believes that every child deserves the magic of Christmas, and the Giving Tree Appeal is a manifestation of this belief. The ongoing support from local businesses and the community enables the distribution of new toys to children across the City & Shire who might not otherwise experience the joy of receiving a gift during the festive season.
How to Support:
To be part of this impactful initiative, individuals can look for tags on Christmas Trees in shopping centers and local shops. Simply select a tag, purchase a gift for the designated child, and drop it off at one of our conveniently located drop-off points. Additionally, Instant Neighbour welcomes volunteers to assist in sorting the gifts. More information can be found at The Giving Tree | Instant Neighbour
