IC3 are still collecting for the St Nicholas Toy Appeal.
The tradition of St Nicholas in Belgium suggests that on the eve of December 6th, St Nicholas rides on horseback across the rooftops, dropping gifts down the chimneys for children. It is commonly confused with Christmas but is an entirely separate custom.
If you would like to support this appeal by providing a gift for one of the 119 children they are collecting for, please contact IC3 on SHAPE.IC3@hotmail.com.
They will be able to advise you of the age of child you are buying for and the rest is down to you. If you would rather make a monetary donation and leave the gift selection to someone else, this is also possible. IC3 will be happy to hear from you.
Appeal closes Wednesday 26th November 2025.
