Organisers "gobsmacked" by success of North Solihull's Christmas appeal

FANTASTIC RESPONSE: A few of the
hampers donated by local people

THESE are just some of more than 200 food parcels which were put together for this year’s North Solihull Christmas hamper appeal.
The hampers, which included a selection of food, have been delivered to elderly and vulnerable members of the community.
They were prepared by schools (including pupils at Coleshill Heath and Fordbridge), businesses and community organisations, following an appeal which was widely shared on social media.
Police officers and local fire crews were among those who helped to make the special deliveries.
The North Solihull Neighbourhood Team had co-ordinated a similar project last year, but this time the response was even greater.
“We are so overwhelmed at the generosity and kindness of everyone that helped us achieve this,” said the group.
It is hoped that some of the recipients will keep in touch with the person/people who prepared their hamper in the year to come.
