This year’s launch will take place on the 2nd of November. Once again we are very grateful to Radio Leicester for supporting the charity by making their studios available to us to publicise the launch, and to Ben Jackson for hosting our visit at 12:15 pm.

This year we will be welcoming the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Jennifer Lady Gretton JP, Janice Richards, Chairman of the County Council and her husband, Deputy City Mayor, Cllr Sarah Russell, and Governor of Rotary International District 1070 (East Midlands), Chris Davies to the Launch together with a number of other distinguished supporters and guests.

They will be the first to put a toy “on the table” and begin this year’s appeal.
