10 Dec Gray & Adams Dunfermline Supports Toy Appeal

Gray & Adams is proud to support the Dunfermline Press Toy Appeal for the first time, an initiative that brings joy and comfort to local families at Christmas in and around Dunfermline. Every donation, large or small, helps make Christmas a little brighter for children in need.

Sara Simpson and Emma Stennett, our toy appeal project coordinators, along with the rest of our depot staff embraced the appeal with genuine enthusiasm, demonstrating the community spirit that runs through Gray & Adams. Alongside team donations, some of our employees’ children also joined in the appeal by leaving donations. As a family business, we are committed to supporting those around us, and we’re grateful to everyone who contributed.

Kyle Hegg, a panel shop team leader, gave the appeal an extra lift. Inspired by Halloween and Movember, Kyle launched a mini-appeal and promised to grow and bleach a Hulk Hogan-style moustache if he hit his £500 target. He hit the mark, then headed to the B&M store in Halbeath to buy toys for the children. After hearing what he was doing, staff added a 10% discount, allowing him to pick up even more gifts and his trolley was full by the time he left the store.

The festive atmosphere continued with a visit from our very own Santa, brought to life by long-standing team member Kevin Ireland, Procurement & Expediting Manager. Our Production Assistant, Carrie Bennett also helped out on the day by capturing photographs, which were used to create a Christmas card.

Seeing the generosity of our colleagues and the wider community is a reminder of what the season is truly about. For Gray & Adams, supporting the Dunfermline Toy Appeal is about more than donations, it’s about coming together, celebrating shared values, and making a meaningful difference for families across our community.
