Angus Toy Appeal 2026

We are delighted to announce that Brechin Health Centre is once again a drop-off point for the Angus Toy Appeal this year.

The collection box is now available in the surgery, and donations can be made over the coming weeks. The appeal supports local children and families across Angus, helping to ensure they receive gifts at Christmas.

If you would like to contribute, please donate a new, unwrapped toy or gift. All donations, big or small, are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and support. Together, we can help make Christmas a little brighter for local children. 🎁✨
