‘Toy bank’ launched at Sleaford travel agents
Lincolnshire Co-op Travel, in Southgate, will be running a ‘toy bank’ drive until Wednesday, December 1.
It is one of 14 Lincolnshire Co-op travel branches calling for new toys to be dropped off in-store as part of the campaign.

For Sleaford, this will be the New Life Church, where toys for 14-18-year-olds and items for babies, such as rattles and teethers, are requested.
The campaign will be supplemented by donations made through an existing, year-round fundraiser run by Lincolnshire Co-op; this involves customers being invited to donate £1 to the ‘toy bank’ drive when booking their holiday.
Lincolnshire Co-op’s head of travel Wayne Dennett said: “Our travel ‘toy bank’ drive is a fantastic opportunity to make a positive difference in our community. These food banks and local charitable groups work so hard to make life better for disadvantaged families and we’re proud to support this cause.
