"Like" Foresters UK Facebook Page - and GBP5.00 Will be Donated to Help Local Children at Christmas

    KENT, ENGLAND, November 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- To coincide with their continuing support of the Cash For Kids Christmas Toy Appeal - where toys and cash donated by members of the public are used to provide a Christmas gift to underprivileged children in the local area - Foresters UK will be donating GBP5.00* for every NEW Like they receive on their ForestersUK Facebook page.

The promotion is live now on the ForestersUK Facebook page and is being supported by Bauer Radio who launched the Cash For Kids Christmas Toy Appeal across the Magic AM radio network on 14th November.

Since 2009, Foresters UK has teamed up with Cash for Kids on several local projects, including the Christmas Toy Appeal, and helped to create the Cash for Kids Family Day in 2011 as well as helping raise around GBP2 million which provided grants and toys to over 200,000 underprivileged UK based children and families.

Members of the public can now do their bit to help make a magical Christmas for less fortunate children by clicking on the "Like" button at the top of the ForestersUK Facebook page here:
