FAQ's

How do I take part in the Christmas Appeal?

Call or email our Family Information Service Officer on 01495 369610 or FIS@Blaenau-Gwent.gov.uk. They will then let you know a code number; the child’s age; gender; and what the child has asked for. Once you have bought your gifts, pop them in a gift bag and bring them to Blaina ICC with the code on the bag.

 

 

Can I support the appeal without having to go shopping?

Yes! We understand that not everyone is able to get to the shops so we are also accepting cash donations. Just give us a call on 01495 311556 to make a donation!

 

 

Do I need to wrap the gifts?

Please do not wrap the gifts. Our team will need to check each bag as they come in and we love to give the parents the opportunity to the wrap the gifts themselves.

 

Where do I deliver the gifts?

All gifts must be dropped off at Blaina ICC. Please ensure your gift bag is labelled with the Code given to you. If you cannot remember this – please just give us a call and we will happy to find it for you!

 

What gifts should I buy?

We ask that all gifts are new and still have the label/tags attached. This helps us to ensure all gifts are safe for the children they are going to. When you call us, we will let you know what the child has asked for. This will give you some ideas of what to buy!
