We're asking you to help make Christmas memorable for kids in need, by adding one more item to your list.
The Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Appeal is collecting donations at Newcastle Permanent’s branches and head office for children who might otherwise not receive gifts this festive season – particularly teenagers.
Newcastle Permanent CEO, Terry Millett, said that although in full swing already, more donations were needed to provide a gift for 500,000 kids in need.
The generosity within the community is always astounding, but the need for donations still outweighs the supply, and we’re hoping to keep donations coming in until right before Christmas.
"Each year we see lots of toys for younger kids donated, but it can be slim pickings for the older kids aged from 10-15, so we have lots of ideas that are east additions to your Christmas shopping list."
Gifts suitable for teenagers include clothes, CDs, DVDs, books, gift cards, fashion accessories, sports equipment, beauty products and games.
The collection will run until Wednesday, 21 December and donation boxes are in all Newcastle Permanent branches and our head office.
We continue to monitor COVID-19 daily. As a precaution, we may temporarily change the hours of our branches. Our locator tool will help you find an alternate branch close by. You can also download the app, internet banking or call our local call centre team to your banking safely from home.
You will find these branches open on a Saturday morning: Waratah, Wallsend, Greenhills, Charlestown Square, Raymond Terrace, Glendale, Kotara, Mount Hutton, Swansea and Erina.
Due to the COVID-19 lockdown in the Central Coast area and more customers choosing to bank from home, we have temporarily reduced our branch hours. All of our branches in the Central Coast area will be open Mon- Fri 9am-1.30pm and on Saturdays Erina Branch is open 9am-12pm (these changes do not apply to branches outside of the central coast).
