3FM teams are out across the Isle of Man today as the Santa's Little Helpers Appeal gets underway.

For the third year running 3FM and Bradford and Bingley International will be out and about each Saturday in December collecting toys for families that need them most.

Steph Tiesteel, who will today be in Ramsey, Peel in Castletown is encouraging members of the public to think of those children who who's Christmas might not be so special.

Last year over 1,000 gifts were distributed via the Children's Centre.
