Plenty of cuddles for Christmas

A local charity has thanked the public and businesses that have helped them ‘Donate a Cuddle’ once again this Christmas.

Every year Ella’s Project collects toys, especially cuddly ones, for those children who may otherwise not receive a present this year.

It was set up by Mark Le Sage, of Spalding, whose daughter the charity is named after.

Mark said: “Ella’s Project would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who donated or dropped off toys for this year’s Christmas appeal.

“We have been overwhelmed by the community support and spirit as well as receiving donations from further afield.

“Of course none of this would be possible without support and help from Lords Collectables and our donation points, so a huge thank you to them as well.

“The toys have now been safely delivered to Santa’s storage facility ready for him to collect prior to his Christmas Eve delivery.”
