Essential Feature
Big Storage Annual
Toy Appeal
The shops are beginning to light up with
bright decorations and festive displays
and children are starting to compile their
wish lists for good old St. Nic. However
for some children from under-privileged
families Christmas isn’t such a glorious
time.
That’s why the Essential Guide has
teamed again up with BiG Storage for
their 9th Annual Toy Appeal to make
sure there are plenty of presents for
under privileged and vulnerable children
who will be helped by the local charities
based in and around Warrington. This
year’s appeal is based around an ACTIVE
sporting theme.
Carley Stenson of TV & West End stage
fame and a Patron of JUMP, one of the
fantastic local charities which this year’s
appeal will help, was at the Launch of the
Appeal. She said, “It’s a huge honour to
work with Big Storage on their Active Toy
Appeal. The toys form part of our annual
Christmas memory which we host for
children who

BiG Storage’s Active Toy Appeal organiser
who commented: “Last year was amazing,
the people of Warrington yet again
showed that even in these economically
difficult times that they are willing to
dig deep to help those less fortunate. We
collected a record 4,800 toys last year
and we are hoping for another fantastic
response during our BiG Active Toy
Appeal, please spare a thought for those
children who would not get a present if it
wasn’t for this appeal and the generosity
of the Essential Guide’s readers.”
