Last push for Give A Gift and Donate A Cuddle donations

Only a few days remain to add your donation to the Give A Gift campaign for an underprivileged child – the appeal finishes on Saturday. (Dec 18)

We’re overwhelmed by the generosity of readers so far and want to make one final call for donations for local children who may otherwise wake up on Christmas Day without a present.

The We’ll Let Your House campaign, supported by The Voice, calls for gifts for children aged one to 14. Presents must be new and unwrapped. Make-up and perishables cannot be accepted.

Separately, top quality used cuddly toys carrying the CE mark are sought by the Donate A Cuddle appeal as part of Ella‘s Project.

Donations to both appeals can only be made until Saturday.

Drop off points in Spalding are:

  • The Voice reception, Winsover Road
  • We’ll Let Your House, Broad Street
  • South Holland District Council, Priory Road
  • Beales, Market Place
  • Sainsbury’s, Holland Market

Or take them to Sutton Bridge library, in The Curlew Centre, Bridge Road.
