Scarborough Wraps Up Christmas For Local Kids

Press release published on 7 December 2007 by Scarborough Building Society

Scarborough Building Society’s is asking local people to help to brighten up the festive season for a local child by buying an extra gift this Christmas and donate it to the branch’s appeal.

And, to kick off the campaign, the Society, based on Wellington Road, is buying £200 worth of toys to add to the pile.

All gifts collected will be donated to Home-Start, the UK’s leading family support charity, and will be going to local children who will appreciate an extra gift during the festive season.

Branch manager Kathy Lodge-Taylor said: ‘Christmas is such an expensive time for families and we hope that this appeal will bring some smiles to some faces this Christmas!

‘We have been supporting Home-Start for the past two years now, in conjunction with our Family Saver account. Although the charity mainly deals with children up to the age of five, many families have older children, so we want to cater for all ages and help whole families get the Christmas they deserve.

‘We all know that Home-Start is such a worthy cause which supports local families, so I hope that the people of Bridlington get behind this campaign and we get a lot of presents to hand over in time for Christmas.’

Gifts can be handed into the branch on Wellington Road any time from today until 17 December. For more information please call the branch on 01262 674 883.
