Help Acres Bring a Smile to Children at Good Hope Hospital This Christmas
Acres Estate Agents launches Christmas Toy Appeal to support local children in hospital
Christmas is a special time of year, particularly for children. It's a time of excitement, anticipation, family celebrations and, of course, the joy of opening presents on Christmas morning.
Sadly, for some children and their families, Christmas can be a very different experience, particularly when a child is unwell and spending time in hospital.
Here at Acres Estate Agents, we've always believed that being part of the local community means much more than simply helping people buy, sell or rent their homes. Having been established in Sutton Coldfield for over 34 years, our community is at the heart of everything we do.
This Christmas, we're hoping to make a little difference.
Following a wonderful suggestion from our Sutton Coldfield office, the Acres team is delighted to launch our Christmas Toy Appeal in support of the children's ward at Good Hope Hospital.
We're inviting our customers, clients, local residents, friends and businesses throughout Sutton Coldfield, Four Oaks, Walmley, Great Barr and surrounding areas to help us collect as many new toys and gifts as possible for children who may be spending some of the festive period in hospital.
A Little Gift Can Make a Big Difference
For a child spending time in hospital, something as simple as receiving a new toy, game or gift set can bring a welcome moment of happiness.
It might provide a distraction from treatment, brighten a difficult day or simply remind a child and their family that people in their community are thinking of them.
And that is exactly what we are hoping to achieve.
Our aim is simple: to collect as many wonderful gifts as possible and bring a little extra Christmas cheer to the children at Good Hope Hospital.
We would love to see our offices filled with donations over the coming weeks, and we're hoping the generosity of our local community will help make this a particularly successful appeal.
What Can You Donate?
The hospital has provided some simple guidelines to ensure that all the gifts collected can be enjoyed by the children.
We are looking for:
- Brand-new toys, games and gift sets suitable for children aged from birth to 16 years.
- Gifts for babies, toddlers, younger children and teenagers.
- All donations must be new and unused.
- Gifts can be wrapped if you prefer, although wrapping is not essential.
- If you wrap your gift, please attach a label stating the intended age range and whether it is suitable for a boy or girl, where applicable.
Whether it's a small cuddly toy, a creative activity set, a game or something suitable for an older child, every contribution will be greatly appreciated.
There is absolutely no expectation for anyone to spend a large amount of money. Sometimes the smallest gestures can make the biggest difference.
Where Can You Drop Off Your Christmas Gifts?
We would be delighted to receive donations at any of our four Acres Estate Agents offices:

We're hoping to gather as many gifts as possible throughout November and into December, ready for delivery to Good Hope Hospital in time for Christmas.
A Special Delivery to Good Hope Hospital
Once we've collected the donations, members of the Acres team are looking forward to delivering the gifts personally to Good Hope Hospital.
The hospital has kindly indicated that members of its team will be happy to welcome us when we arrive with the donations.
We also hope to share some photographs of the occasion, with the hospital's permission, so that everyone who has supported our appeal can see the difference their generosity has made.
After all, this is very much a community effort, and we want everyone who contributes to feel part of something special.
Supporting the Community That Has Supported Acres for Over 34 Years
Since opening our doors in 1992, Acres Estate Agents has been fortunate to enjoy tremendous support from the communities we serve.
Over the years, we've helped thousands of local families move home, watched children grow up, and welcomed generations of customers through our doors.
We have always been proud to be a family-owned and run independent estate agency, and supporting worthwhile local causes is something we feel very strongly about.
This Christmas appeal is another opportunity for us to give something back.
As Nigel Deekes, Partner at Acres Estate Agents, explains:
"Christmas is such a magical time for children, but we mustn't forget that for some families it can also be a particularly worrying and difficult period.
When our Sutton Coldfield team suggested supporting the children's ward at Good Hope Hospital, I thought it was a fabulous idea and something we should all embrace.
We've been part of this wonderful community for over 34 years, and the support we've received throughout that time has been tremendous.
If we can help bring a smile to the faces of children spending time in hospital this Christmas, then I think that's something really worthwhile.
I hope our customers, friends, local businesses and the wider community will get behind us. Together, I'm sure we can make a real difference."
Let's Make This a Christmas to Remember
We know just how generous the people of Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding areas can be, and we're hoping this appeal will bring out the very best of our community.
Whether you donate one gift or several, every contribution will help us towards our goal.
Please feel free to share our Christmas Toy Appeal with friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. Local businesses are also warmly invited to get involved.
Let's fill our Acres offices with Christmas gifts and help bring a little happiness to children at Good Hope Hospital this festive season.
On behalf of everyone at Acres Estate Agents, thank you for your generosity, kindness and continued support.
We wish you and your families a very happy Christmas.
