This years "Every Child Needs Christmas" campaign which is now in its 7th year has concluded with a hugely generous total of 9,800 being donated and gifted to children across all the BS postcodes all over BS postcodes including WSM, Bristol, Clevedon, Portishead, South Gloucestershire and Keynsham.
The campaign organises for donations of gifts that cost around the £5.00 mark each that are suitable for for any age of child between 0-16 to be dropped of to a variety of donation points, they are then wrapped and distributed to the families of underprivileged children by teams from North Somerset Children's Centres, social care networks, foodbanks, trusts and other relevant organisations.
Organiser Sara said "This year has been different for sure, but amazing all the same. We've had to turn our 7th year on its head and switch up how we run, but we are thrilled with how it went.
Seeing the community coming together to support others is truly remarkable, and it makes a huge difference to the children that have been able to receive a gift.
Simon and his team at Drive Vauxhall in the town, our sponsor, have provided their venue, man power, vans and time to the cause, and we are eternally grateful for their support"
