Thanks for Give a Gift support

Thank you to everyone who collected or donated presents to our Give A Gift appeal.

The gifts were given to Lincolnshire County Council’s Children’s Services and were distributed to families whose children would otherwise have not received a present to open on Christmas Day.

Thanks to all our collection points: Sainsbury’s, Nat West, Calthrops Solicitors, Frydays Fish and Chip Shop, The Noshery, Vine House Farm, Baytree and the Anglia Motel.

Other donations came from Spalding Academy, Spalding War Games Club, St Swithun’s Church Community Hub, Bicker, Lord’s Collectables, David Woods Baking and Greencore.

Huge thanks also go to Mark Le Sage, who gave up his time to pick up the gifts.
