£4,000 Worth of Toys Donated to Children Across Our Communities This Christmas

The Midcounties Co-operative has donated £4,000 worth of toys to vulnerable and disadvantaged children across its communities this Christmas.

The contribution is part of the Society’s ongoing work to support those most in need, with the toys gifted equally to eight different organisations:

• Hope House Children's Charity

• Home-Start Wyre Forest

• Gloucestershire Young Carers

• The Salvation Army Tewkesbury

• Forest of Dean Salvation Army

• Swindon Women Aid

• Knighton Food Bank

• Walsall Young Carers

Phil Ponsonby, chief executive of The Midcounties Co-operative, said: “Helping the most vulnerable across our communities is a core part of our values, and I’m beyond proud of how our members and communities have come together to do this throughout 2020.

We know that this time of year can be difficult for many, and especially so this year. I hope that our donations go a small way to bringing some festive cheer and a smile to the faces of the children that these amazing organisations support.”
