Last chance to make donation

If you would like to support our Give A Gift appeal, now’s your final chance.

We have been overwhelmed with the support again this year and there is limited time left to donate as the appeal closes at 5pm tomorrow (Friday).

The gifts makes a huge difference to struggling families across South Holland and Boston, ensuring less fortunate children aged between three and 14-years-old who wouldn’t get a present, have something to open on Christmas Day.

We’ll be delighted if you support the appeal but ask you not to gift wrap your present – they need to be assessed to ensure children receive suitable toys.

We respectfully ask that the gifts are in new or ‘as new’ condition and we are unable to accept cuddly toys, make-up, toiletries or food and perishable items due to health and safety.

All presents will go to South Holland and Boston Child Services to distribute in time for Christmas.

Collection points this year are: The Spalding and South Holland Voice, Short Street, Spalding (before 1pm), Sainsbury’s, Holland Market, Spalding, Nat West, Market Place, Spalding, Calthrops Solicitors, Hall Place, Spalding, Frydays Fish and Chip Shop, Crowland, The Noshery, Springfields Garden Centre, Spalding, Vine House Farm, Deeping St Nicholas and Baytree at Weston (Santa’s Grotto booking office), Anglia Motel café, Fleet Hargate.
