Donations of gifts are welcome to distribute more than 7,000 presents in Cardiff due to growing demand<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A CHRISTMAS gift appeal delivered 7,000 presents last year to children in Cardiff, but even more are needed this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boomerang is collecting presents to distribute to 21 schools around Cardiff \u2013 an increase from 16 schools last year \u2013 and there has already been an increased demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six weeks away from Christmas, volunteers already have a list of 300 families needing support from the Give a Gift appeal. Usually, people only come forward a couple of weeks before the big day, said Paul Gwilym, founder of Boomerang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
