Listeners of a local radio station helped brighten Christmas for families in need in Wisbech.
KLFM ran a toy appeal and those identified for Wisbech were handed over to the Salvation Army to distribute.
Breakfast presenter Simon Rowe popped along to the Oasis Centre where he dropped off the toys ready to be given out along with food parcels.
Chris Stevens, the Oasis Community Centre manager together with Simon thanked Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s in King’s Lynn, Wisbech, Downham Market, Hunstanton and Swaffham.
The King’s Lynn Ladies Circle, Asda in South Wootton, Dersingham Brownies, Sandringham Guides and so many more who spent an evening each packaging up all the presents on behalf of everyone who received one of these wonderful gifts.
