A DARLINGTON shop is appealing for gifts of toys to help an appeal raising funds for needy children.

Travelcare, which is based in the Morrison's complex in North Road, is planning to present money raised from the sale of the toys to the Make A Wish Foundation.

The shop is looking for used toys, which will be offered to shoppers cheaply on Saturday, August 24, from 10am, outside the shop.

This is the first time the shop will be selling donated toys to raise money, although it has held similar events for other funds in the past.

Donations can be made to the Travelcare shop.
