South Holland residents are once again proving their generosity by really getting behind the Give A Gift Appeal.
We teamed up with We’ll Let Your House to launch the appeal at the start of November and kicked it off with £200 worth of toys bought using cash from The Spalding and South Holland Voice Community Fund.
Since then readers have been getting on board with the appeal and leaving gifts at the drop-off points across Spalding.
But we need more presents, so while you’re doing your Christmas shopping please consider buying an extra gift to donate to the appeal.
Support from Home-Start South Holland and other local organisations will make sure all donations go to families that really need them this Christmas.
We are also asking readers to tell us if they know of a family that would benefit from our appeal. Nominations will remain confidential meaning they can be made without fear of embarrassment on behalf of those suggested.
Please send us your nominations including your name and phone number, details on the family you are nominating and the reasons you think they should benefit.
You can email us at [email protected] or write to Give A Gift Appeal, The Spalding and South Holland Voice, 14-16 Winsover Road, Spalding, PE11 1EJ.
We’ll be delighted if you decide to support the appeal but ask you please not to gift wrap your present – they need to be assessed to ensure families receive toys suitable for their child’s age and gender.
We are accepting gifts suitable for children from birth to age 13. Unfortunately we cannot accept secondhand toys, chocolate or make-up.
There are several collection points in Spalding where you can leave your donations:
Our offices, 14-16 Winsover Road
We’ll Let Your House, Broad Street Business Centre, 10 Broad Street lSainsbury’s, Holland Market
Beales Department Store, Market Place
South Holland District Council offices, Priory Road.
We are looking for collection points in Holbeach and Crowland. Please email [email protected] if you can help.
The appeal closes at 5pm on Thursday, December 17.
