In Birmingham, 1,700 families received a record number of toys at Christmas from Birmingham City Mission, with the assistance of dozens of local companies.

Around 4,000 children received the gifts in December via the Birmingham City Mission’s (BCM) annual ToyLink project, with around 70 local companies who, between them, held toy collections, wrapped presents or delivered them to families.

BCM reports between 300 and 400 people volunteered to wrap presents – with a cash value of approximately £130,000 - during the 6-week period of wrapping before Christmas.
