The deadline is fast approaching to donate gifts to Rochdale’s Christmas Toy Appeal this year and help make sure local children who are less fortunate have presents to open on Christmas Day.
The appeal is organised by the charity 'Giving Back' which is run by Rochdale Borough Council staff.
Petrus have proudly supported people in the community to donate over 2,000 presents since we joined the appeal five years ago.
To make sure our partners and volunteers in the appeal can sort and deliver the gifts to homes across the borough before 25th December, all donations need to be received before Friday 10th December.
If you can help, please donate an unwrapped, new gift suitable for a child up to 16 years old to any of the following drop off points:
- Any local library (View all local libraries)
- A Your Trust leisure centre (View all leisure centres)
- Rochdale Riverside (Management office on level 1 of the lesiure foyer, opposite Puttstars)
- Bamford Barista (9–11 Broadhalgh Road Bridleway, Rochdale OL11 5LX)
- Crown Oil Arena (Willbutts Lane, Rochdale OL11 5DS - Rochdale AFC Community Trust Office)
Alternatively, you can order a gift online and request it be delivered directly to the appeal at the address below:

Rochdale Giving Back Christmas Toy Appeal particularly welcomes presents for teenagers as they don't usually receive as many for this age group.
