Helpour annual appeal
Hamilton Advertiser
|December 04, 2025
Christmas is coming, and with three weeks until the big day, it’s the busiest time of the year for the bighearted volunteers behind the Advertiser's annual toy appeal with the Salvation Army.
-
Plenty of gifts have so far been donated but we are asking generous readers, local residents and businesses to donate even more toys, games, books and vouchers to ensure that as many families as possible across Hamilton can benefit and have welcome gifts under the tree on Christmas morning.
Gifts can be handed in to collection points at Mecca Bingo in Hamilton, Rocca restaurant on Cadzow Street and Hays Travel on Regent Way.
