The Salvation Army in Addlestone co-ordinates a Christmas Toy Appeal and last year they provided toys and gifts for over 500 children within Runnymede borough which were distributed to families in need. This year families are facing even more difficulties due to the rising cost of living; the huge increase in utility bills which is having a massive effect upon people’s financial situation and their ability to buy more than the basic requirements. The Salvation Army are expecting an increase in the number of families referred to them and asked if Stepgates Community School could support.
