I AM writing on behalf of Home-Start Wyre Forest and the other agencies who distributed gifts to local children, as part of the Shuttle/Times and News Christmas Tree Appeal.
I would like to thank everyone who donated gifts. We were once again overwhelmed by people's generosity and thoughtfulness, and were delighted to be able to distribute over 500 gifts.
Home-Start is a voluntary organisation which supports families with young children who are finding things difficult.
We have over 50 volunteers who regularly visit families in their own homes to provide practical help and emotional support.
We are used to seeing the quiet good work that local people do, but we were still heartened to be reminded how generous and caring people can be.
On behalf of all the children who will enjoy your gifts, may I wish you all a Happy New Year.
