| SPIRIT OF GIVING: There was an extraordinary response to last year's appeal, which was widely shared on social media sites. |
A CHRISTMAS hamper appeal will once again be running in North Solihull following the tremendous success of the initiative last year.
Thanks to the generosity of local people, a total of 315 hampers were delivered to elderly people in 2015.
Organisers from Solihull Council's Neighbourhood Services team are hoping that there will be a similar response this year and will be working closely with local primary schools, including Coleshill Heath.
Residents can also contribute by taking a hamper to the collection point which has been set up at the Onward Club, in Helmswood Drive. There is also a similar drop-off at Olton Library, for those who live south of the A45.
People are asked to decorate a small box, fill it with food and include a Christmas card. The best items to include are those with a decent shelf-life, such as soups, tinned vegetables and chocolate.
If you would like to donate a hamper, you have until December 10.
