“Every child deserves to get a Christmas present but for many of the families we support it’s simply a luxury they can not afford and a lot of these families have to choose between heating and eating.
“We would like to say a big thank you so much to everyone that has supported us and to those of you that will be doing in the coming days.
“This gift will be the best present you will give to anyone this Christmas.”
