Four million children live in poverty across the UK. For these families, Christmas is a luxury they just can't afford.

That's why Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service is supporting the official charity of Radio City 96.7, Cash for Kids, in its Mission Christmas - to ensure every child on Merseyside has a present to open this Christmas day.

The charity is asking everyone to buy just one extra present to help make a difference to children in our region.

It needs new and unwrapped gifts suitable for children and young people aged 0 to 18 years, which you can donate at any of the following Merseyside Fire & Rescue Service fire stations until Sunday, December 18.

* Southport Community Fire Station, Manchester Road, Southport PR9 0LH
