Chesterfield Champion launches Toy Appeal to brighten children’s ward this Christmas

As we enter the Christmas holiday season, Chesterfield Champion Jones & Co Independent Financial Advice is asking local businesses and residents to ‘spare a toy and share some joy’ and support them in their Christmas Toy Appeal. All gifts received will be donated to the Nightingale Ward of the Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

The Nightingale Ward is a dedicated paediatric ward which offers acute medical care to all children and young people aged from 1 day old, up to their 17th birthday.

Every year, many children spend their Christmas on the Nightingale Ward. At such a special time of year, Jones & Co Independent Financial Advice would like to bring some additional Christmas cheer to these children and their families.

Adviser Donna Robertson said: “Helping our local children is a cause very close to our hearts and we thought this is the perfect opportunity to give back!”

Donations can be dropped off at the Jones & Co office, 27 Glumangate, Chesterfield S40 1TX. Gifts can be donated up to the 14th of December, allowing plenty of time for Santa to deliver the gifts to the children on the ward. Please note, all gifts must be new and unwrapped.
