STAFF at a Bewdley law firm have made a generous donation to our Christmas Gift Appeal.

Businesses, schools and families across the district have been busy collecting gifts for the Shuttle Christmas Gift Appeal to bring some seasonal joy to families in need across Wyre Forest.

Wright Solicitors' Bewdley office dropped off their donations at the Home-Start charity headquarters last week, ahead of the deadline on Sunday, December 16.

A spokesman for the firm said: "Following a successful collection last year, staff in our Bewdley office were keen to again collect for Home-Start with items generously donated from across the whole firm.

"Although the charity predominantly focuses on younger families, staff have collected a variety of gifts for children of all ages having recognised that there can often be a gap in donations for teenagers.

"We hope this collection will contribute to the great work that Home-Start undertakes, in order to help make a difference to Christmas for many families in the Wyre Forest district.”

Donna Scriven, senior co-ordinator at Home-Start, said: "The very generous delivery of presents from staff at Wrights Solicitors in Bewdley was very welcomed and will make many children very happy this Christmas.

"We really appreciate your help in supporting our local community.”

The grand total for the Shuttle Christmas Gift Appeal will be announced in this week's edition.
