The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance (LNAA) is launching Toys for Take Off – a toy donation drive to celebrate the opening of its new Lincoln shop ahead of Christmas.
The charity, which relies on donations to operate its life-saving service, is set to officially open the doors to a new store, off Newark Road, on Saturday 29 November.
LNAA’s head of retail, Elizabeth Wright said: “This shop is an exciting development for the charity and our supporters – just in time for Christmas!
“Toys for Take Off is our appeal for toy donations so hopefully it’s an ideal time for people to clear out unwanted toys to make way for new ones. People can also come and do some gift shopping and find good quality bargains, all while supporting our crews to get to patients over the festive period.”
The new site is perfect for dropping off donations; people can park and browse but it’s also easy walking distance for lots of local communities.
LNAA previously operated a shop in the city’s High Street which was closed in 2020 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The charity opened a new shop in Wragby earlier this year and will continue to review the retail landscape.
The new shop will open at 10.30am on 29 November, with a guest appearance from the charity’s mascot Parameduck who will ‘ducklare’ the store officially open!
Find the new shop at 246 Newark Road, Lincoln, LN6 8RP.
