You can also help Torfaen’s Santa Appeal by handing in gifts to the Cwmbran Centre customer services desk on Tuesday, December 7 between 1.30pm and 4pm.

The appeal is run by Torfaen Social Services and provides an opportunity for people to donate gifts to children and young people who would otherwise miss out at Christmas.

To donate, you can call 01633 647539 where you will be given a name, age and reference number of a child or young person. You must attach the details to the donated gift – which must be unwrapped – and handed in to the desk.
