Joyce's 50-Year Christmas Miracle
Update: 2025-12-07
Description
Joyce Whitt, an 84-year-old philanthropist, has been spreading Christmas cheer for over 50 years through her toy donation scheme, the Great Notts Christmas Toy Appeal. Starting with just 100 homes in 1972, the appeal now helps over 2000 children annually. Joyces dedication began after adopting a baby, leading her to organize the appeal with her husband and friends. Preparations start early, with donations coming in as early as January. The appeal has seen a surge in demand, with 20 volunteers sorting donations over three days in December. Despite stepping back from organizing, Joyce still participates, cherishing the fun, love, and laughter the event brings.
