Selby Hands of Hope — Gift/Toy Appeal 2025

​

We know this feels too early, but experience tells us that if we start now, we can identify and help more people.

We’re thrilled to launch this year’s Gift Appeal to brighten Christmas for children, teens, and parents across Selby & District.

​

Top need: £5 gift cards for teenagers.

Every gift helps, but we’re always short for teens. If you can, please include a £5 gift card (multiples welcome). They’re simple, dignified, and let teens choose something they’ll truly enjoy.

​

What to give

£5 gift cards (top priority for teens)

Teen toiletries (skincare, body spray, etc.)

Headphones, phone accessories, small tech gadgets

New, unopened gifts/toys for younger children
