Xmas Toys Appeal

    Radio Ninesprings Children's Christmas Toy Appeal is big hit with listeners...

    The ‘Free Toys at Christmas Appeal’ on Radio Ninesprings in partnership with Calis Media, received over 600 toys for giving to young people in hospitals, care facilities, and those in less fortunate situations. 

    Listeners, businesses, and sponsors of the radio station donated the gifts, which were sorted into age-appropriate categories and delivered to various places around the Yeovil and South Somerset area for giving out. 

     

    Steve Calis from Calis Media said: “It’s been an incredible year for giving and I still can’t quite believe how generous everyone has been. I was lucky enough to be on many of the deliveries this year and every beneficiary said what a difference receiving one of our toys had made to their Christmas.” 

     Radio Ninesprings Station Manager, Steve Haigh said: “I want to say a big thank you to our listeners, local businesses, and sponsors for their generosity, without their donations this campaign would never have been possible.” 

     Steve Calis can be heard presenting his show on Radio Ninesprings when the show returns in the new year on Tuesday evenings between 7 and 9 pm.
