Cardwells Estate Agents in Bolton and Bury are once again opening their doors to collect Christmas presents for children who might otherwise wake up without a gift on Christmas morning.
Cardwells Estate Agents, with offices in Bolton and Bury town centres, are once again appealing to the generosity of local residents and businesses in Bolton and Bury as it launches its eighth annual Christmas present collection in support of Cash for Kids’ Mission Christmas Appeal.
The initiative aims to help ensure that children across Bolton, Bury and the surrounding areas experience the excitement and happiness of receiving a present on Christmas morning, particularly those whose families are facing difficulties.
Both Cardwells offices will once again serve as collection points, making it easy for members of the public to drop off a new, unwrapped Christmas present during their visit to either town centre.
Managing Director Andrew Cardwell said:
“We are pleased to be supporting Mission Christmas for another year. This is now our eighth annual Christmas collection, and it has become something that we genuinely look forward to as a business.
“Every year, we are reminded just how generous and thoughtful the people of Bolton and Bury are. We have been fortunate enough to receive some wonderful donations over the years, and it is always incredibly heartwarming to see people taking the time to buy an extra present and bring it into one of our offices.
“We sometimes take for granted the excitement that Christmas morning brings, particularly for children. The anticipation of getting up, seeing the presents under the tree and having something special to open, is something that every child should be able to experience.
“Unfortunately, that isn’t the reality for every family. There are parents who, through no fault of their own, are finding things challenging this year.
“We are very conscious that times are far from easy, and we certainly wouldn’t want anyone to feel under pressure to donate. However, if you are in a position to buy just one additional present when doing your Christmas shopping, it really could make a tremendous difference to a child.
“It doesn’t need to be anything extravagant or expensive. A small toy, a book, a game or something suitable for an older child or teenager could mean an enormous amount to the recipient.
“On behalf of everyone at Cardwells, I would like to thank everyone who has supported our collections in previous years. We are incredibly grateful for the kindness shown by the wonderful communities in Bolton and Bury, and we hope that together we can make an even bigger difference this Christmas.”

Andrew added:
“Both our offices are right in the heart of Bolton and Bury, so hopefully it is convenient for people to pop in when they are out shopping or going about their day.
“If you have supported us before, thank you so much. If this is the first time you have heard about our appeal, we would be delighted to welcome you.
“Ultimately, this is about our local community looking after one another. If we can help make Christmas morning a little more special for a child who might otherwise go without, then every single present collected will have been worthwhile.
“Thank you in advance to everyone who takes part. We really do appreciate it.”
