Time is running out to give a gift

Thanks to everyone who has donated to this year’s Give A Gift campaign so far, but we still need more presents.

The appeal makes a huge difference to struggling families across South Holland, ensuring children who wouldn’t get a present have something to open on Christmas Day.

The Spalding and South Holland Voice has teamed up with Coun Mark Le Sage, founder of Ella’s Project, again this year.

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 children receive suitable toys.

We respectfully ask that the gifts are in new or ‘as new’ condition and we are unable to accept cuddly toys, make-up, toiletries or food and perishable items due to health and safety.

If you would like to make a monetary donation, please visit https://www.lordcollectables.com/?s=Toy+Appeal+Donation&product_cat=&post_type=product.

There you can make a donation and Lord’s Collectables will use the money to buy toys at trade price to donate to the appeal.

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.

Collection points this year are: The Spalding and South Holland Voice, Short Street, Spalding (before 1pm), Sainsbury’s, Holland Market, Spalding, Nat West, Market Place, Spalding, Calthrops Solicitors, Hall Place, Spalding, Frydays Fish and Chip Shop, Crowland, The Noshery, Springfields Garden Centre, Spalding, Vine House Farm, Deeping St Nicholas and Baytree at Weston (Santa’s Grotto booking office), Anglia Motel café, Fleet Hargate.

The appeal closes on Monday, December 15.
