Please keep donating

For the second year running Courtyard Footcare, Health and Beauty is a collection point for our Give A Gift appeal.
Linda Drury, owner of the salon in Swan Street, Spalding, will be happy to receive your donations.
We have already received many gifts for this year’s campaign but we still need more presents.
Launched by Coun Harry Drury, the appeal makes a huge difference to struggling families across South Holland and Boston, ensuring children who wouldn’t get a present have something to open on Christmas Day.
The appeal closes at 5pm on Monday, December 13, so there’s still time to pop an extra gift in your basket while you’re doing your Christmas shopping.
We ask you please not to giftwrap your present to allow it to be assessed for age and gender so it is given to a suitable child.
Give A Gift helps ensure less fortunate children aged between three and 14 years old have a gift to open on Christmas Day.
All presents will go to South Holland and Boston Child Services to distribute in time for Christmas.
Our collection points this year are: The Spalding and South Holland Voice, Lincs Gateway Business Park, Spalding; DGG Property Consultants, Welland Workspace, Pinchbeck Road, Spalding; Spalding Fire Station, West Elloe Avenue (go to the reception door or leave gifts in the porch); Courtyard Footcare, Health and Beauty, 66 Swan Street, Spalding and Sainsbury’s, Holland Market, Spalding.
