Barnsley looks after its own
Tony Batty and his team of Christmas elves
For the sixth year running, Tony and the team are working their socks off collecting toys for local children.
Working alongside local charities, social workers, hospitals and community services, they spread a little Christmas magic to the children and families who need it most.
They even make sure gifts reach children spending Christmas in hospital, because every child deserves a little visit from Santa.
And this year, the appeal is working in partnership with Base71 Youth Zone to help make the magic happen. Visit Base71 ↗
