Stockport Merseyway Shopping Centre’s Giving Tree is back
Due to its phenomenal success, The Giving Tree has returned to Merseyway Shopping centre again this year until 13th December
Merseyway’s Giving Tree is back!
Last Christmas saw Merseyway Shopping Centre launch its first ever Giving Tree, receiving over 1,000 gift donations for local children in need.
Due to its phenomenal success, The Giving Tree has returned to the centre again this year until 13th December. Look out for the large white tree with its bright red tags in the covered mall outside Specsavers. Please take a tag and purchase a gift if you can and help Merseyway ensure less fortunate children within the community receive a Christmas present this year.
Every tag is bespoke to each child so you know that the gift you buy is something they’ve asked for on their Christmas list. www.merseyway.com
There is lots more happening in Merseyway in the run-up to Christmas ….
MERSEYWAY’S CHRISTMAS STARS
To celebrate inspirational members of the local community in the run-up to the festive season, Merseyway launched its Christmas Stars campaign last month. The centre received an overwhelming response with lost of people nominating friends, family, work colleagues, key workers and volunteers who they felt deserved to be rewarded for their kindness, resilience or creativity during 2020. Merseyway’s eight Christmas Stars will announced in December and in addition to receiving a bespoke Christmas present from the centre, their names will feature on large gold stars as part of the centre’s Christmas decorations.
