Spreading Joy This Christmas: SPR’s Toy Drive for Walsall Manor Hospital and Acorns Children’s Hospice

At Starting Point Recruitment (SPR), our commitment to making a difference goes far beyond recruitment. This Christmas, we are proud to support two incredible organisations—Walsall Manor Hospital and Acorns Children’s Hospice—with a Toy Drive to bring joy to children and families in need during the festive season.

What is the SPR Toy Drive?

The SPR Toy Drive is our way of giving back to the community and supporting children and families who are going through difficult times. We are collecting new, unwrapped toys that will be distributed to children at Walsall Manor Hospital and Acorns Children’s Hospice. These gifts will help make the festive season brighter and bring moments of happiness and connection to young people who deserve a reason to smile.

Why are we supporting these charities?

Walsall Manor Hospital serves the local community, caring for many children and families who will be spending their festive season away from home due to illness or treatment. A simple gift can mean the world to a child facing a hospital stay, helping to make their experience just a little more cheerful.

Acorns Children’s Hospice provides vital care for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, along with support for their families. They work tirelessly to create moments of joy and provide comfort to families facing unimaginable challenges. Your generosity helps them continue their remarkable work during the festive period.

How you can make a difference

Taking part in the Toy Drive is easy, and every contribution—big or small—makes an impact. Here’s how you can get involved:

Drop-off location:

SPR Office Walsall 139-145 Lichfield Street, Walsall WS1 1SE

SPR Office Birmingham 10 Brindley Place, Birmingham B1 2JB

Deadline for donations:

Friday 13th December 2024

We kindly request that all donations are brand-new and unwrapped to ensure they are safe and appropriate for the children receiving them.

The impact of your generosity

For a child in a hospital bed or a hospice, a gift at Christmas can mean more than just receiving a toy. It is a reminder that they are cared for, thought of and valued by their community. For their families, it is a moment of relief and joy to see their child smile, even in the face of challenges.

A word from Mireille Harris Executive Director - People, Culture & Deputy CEO

“At SPR, we have always been committed to supporting the communities we serve. While recruitment is at the heart of what we do, building strong, compassionate communities is part of our wider mission. Through this Toy Drive, we aim to go beyond our professional roles and make a genuine difference to the lives of children and families who need it most".

Let’s make this Christmas magical, together

There is nothing more heart warming than coming together to support those in need during the festive season. Whether you are donating a cuddly toy, a board game or something creative, every contribution counts. Together, we can spread joy, create memories and remind children and families that they are not alone.

Join us in making this festive season unforgettable.
