MFR Cash for Kids and The Scottish Co-operative have teamed up to make merry memories this Christmas for disadvantaged children across the North.

Imagine Christmas...trees, lights, good food, family and presents. Now picture waking up on Christmas morning with none of those things! It's a harsh reality but many children in the Highland and Morayshire will wake up to nothing on Christmas morning. No tree or decorations, no nice food or presents and no special memories.

While we can't rid our area of child poverty, we can try to put smiles on the faces of children living in poverty for at least one day - a day when they can feel like every other child and go back to school with memories of good times that they can share with their friends. MFR Cash for Kids has teamed up with the Scottish Co-operative to help make merry memories this Christmas for children across the North of Scotland. The MFR Toy Appeal is simple, buy one extra gift when you are Christmas shopping and drop it off at one of the Co-operative Food Store listed below.

Through the generosity of our listeners, last year MFR Cash for Kids raised over £25,000 and delivered toys to more than 500 children who would have got no presents. With your help, we hope that this year even more children will have merry memories this Christmas.

Make children across the North smile this Christmas!
