MIS is proud to support the Cash for Kids Mission Christmas gift appeal again this year. Our Inverness, Elgin, and Inverurie branches are official donation points, helping ensure no child misses out on a gift this Christmas.

What Gifts Are Needed?

Cash for Kids accepts new and unwrapped gifts for children and young people aged 0-18 years.

Need inspiration? Here’s what they suggest:

• Babies & Toddlers (0-3 years): Soft toys, building blocks, sensory toys, and books.
• Young Children (4-7 years): Dolls, action figures, puzzles, colouring sets, and outdoor games.
• Older Kids (8-12 years): Board games, art supplies, books, sports equipment, and LEGO sets.
• Teenagers (13-18 years): Toiletry sets, makeup, gift vouchers, sports gear, and electronics accessories (like headphones).

How You Can Help

1. Donate Gifts: Drop off your gift at any of our collection points by December 18th. Please ensure items are new and unwrapped.
2. Batteries & Wrapping Supplies: Including batteries with toys or donating rolls of wrapping paper can make a big difference for families preparing gifts.
3. Monetary Donations: If you'd prefer to make a cash donation, you can donate directly through the Cash for Kids website. Every pound helps provide gifts or essential support for local children.

You can find donation boxes located in our Inverness, Elgin and Inverurie branch showrooms until Monday 16th December. Members of staff and our Charity Committee have already been dropping in their contributions and we welcome you to pop by and do the same. Whether you're a valued customer or simply passing by, every donation, no matter how big or small, plays a crucial role in helping Cash for Kids achieve their mission of improving the lives of local children this Christmas.
