THE Kidderminster Iceland store has become the latest donation point in the annual Shuttle Christmas Gift Appeal, following the launch last week.

The appeal launched on Thursday, November 12, and will run until Wednesday, December 16.

This is the second year the Iceland store has taken part and will act as a donation point until the appeal ends.

Other drop off points include the Home-Start offices in New Road, the Swan Management Suite, a number of Weavers Wharf outlets, Archies Barbers in Dog Lane, Bewdley, and the Courtyard Café in Lombard Street, Stourport.

Taking part in Weavers Wharf are McDonalds, TK Maxx, Debenhams, DW Sports, TH Bakers, Savers, Greggs and Sports Direct.

The appeal is run in conjunction with local family support charity Home-Start Wyre Forest, who co-ordinate and deliver gifts to children in the district whose families are receiving their support.

We are asking the generous readers of the Shuttle to support our Gift Appeal by donating a gift for a local child aged 0-18 years of age.

When you have chosen your gift, all you have to do is take the present, however big and of whatever value, to one of the outlets taking part. Home-Start will then wrap and deliver the gifts to children before Christmas Day.

Belinda Darby, manager of Home-Start Wyre Forest, said: “Our staff and volunteers will ensure a gift is delivered for each child in the families we are currently supporting which will make this time of year a little more special for the whole family.”
