A Christmas Difference Made By Santa's Little Helpers

Between 11 December 2007 and 11 December 2007, in Liverpool

Christmas Toy Appeal given a helping hand by Agents4Change volunteers.

Young students from Liverpool Community College volunteered their time on Tuesday, the 11th of December, to sort toys donated by the public as part of the Merseyside Christmas Toy Appeal 2007.

Five Agents4Change volunteers helped members of the City of Liverpool Lions Club to organise hundreds of donated toys. The toys were to be sent by different agencies and charities to underprivileged children across Merseyside and Cheshire .

Liverpool Agent Rachel Solomon said: "It was brilliant seeing how successful the evening was. When we first arrived there were so many bags that needed sorting out, but by the end of it, they were all cleared and sorted, ready to be sent off to a deserving child. Santa's Little Scouse Helpers did a fantastic job."

The enthusiastic first-time volunteers themselves thoroughly enjoyed the event. Emma Wray, a 16-year-old from Aigburth, cannot wait to volunteer again, saying: "I loved it and it made me feel dead good to help out!"
