Saints fans are also being encouraged to bring presents and food items to their Investec Champions Cup clash with Vodacom Bulls at cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens on December 14.
As part of the festive initiative, which is in its 12th year, Saints players will visit Northampton General Hospital in the build-up to Christmas to surprise young patients with gifts.
Gifts will also be provided to the Northampton Children’s Trust, which will support more than 6,000 disadvantaged children and their families across Daventry, Northampton Angel Square, Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby.
Group marketing & digital director of Travis Perkins, Carine Jessamine, said: “We are honoured to be supporting the Toy Collection in partnership with Northampton Saints. It’s one of the highlights of our partnership and it’s fantastic to be able to bring some festive joy to those children who are facing a difficult time this Christmas, as well as their families.”
