Christmas Appeal 2011 This year we need your help to make the Christmas Appeal as successful as possible so we are able to help as many children in our area as we can! Read on to find out about what the Christmas Appeal is, who we are, and how you can help… Thank you!

Rock FM and Magic 999s Cash For Kids Gift Appeal 2012 Our Gift Appeal is organised and delivered by Rock FM and Magic 999s Cash for Kids Charity which helps local disabled and disadvantaged children. Last year we received over £226,000 worth of toys, clothing, gifts and selection boxes etc helping over 4400 children who each received approximately £30 worth of goodies. The advert will ask the community to purchase a toy / gift and drop them off at one of our drop off points which will be listed online. The toys will then be taken to a central sorting and distribution warehouse provided for free by The Store Room, Preston and sorted into ages / gender Applications are received from registered professional bodies such as social services, doctors, schools etc. There is a strict criteria which is children aged between 0 – 18 and living in real poverty within Rock FM and Magic 999s transmission area. The toys are then distributed to the most deprived children. We are already receiving applications and we believe that we will receive double the applications from last year so we really do need as much help as possible from local retailers, businesses and schools to reach as many children as we can! Christmas Appeal 2012

We need as many gifts as possible to cover the mass amount of children who otherwise wont receive anything at all this Christmas. Like Rock FMs Facebook page for up to the minute info on the toy appeal. Check out for additional information. us photos throughout the campaign for us to upload to the website and Facebook to encourage people to visit your store/school/business to donate. Put up the posters around your workplace and ensure all staff are fully briefed Have a designated area for your own toy collections or for the toys to be dropped off by your customers/students/employees – which is fully labelled. All staff should know where this is and what it’s for. Please think about how you are going to launch your appeal, maybe build it in with your own events such as carol singers, fancy dress, Santa, reindeers outside, tasting sessions, Christmas parties etc or whatever is relevant to your premises. Maybe try your own PR stunt and contact the local press. Make sure you take plenty of pictures that we can put on our websites.
