Ho ho ho! Christmas presents donated to Barnado's

Colleagues from across Western Power Distribution's offices have collected around 600 Christmas presents for disadvantaged youngsters across the Midlands, South West and South Wales.

The appeal on behalf of Barnardo’s, which supports children and young people in local authority care, aims to buy presents for children who wouldn’t otherwise receive anything to the recommended value of £10.

WPD’s Cathy Sanders said: "We are very happy to be donating the gifts. It’s great to think how many children will benefit and enjoy them."

Louise Adams from Barnardo’s said: "We are totally overwhelmed by WPD’s generosity again this year. These gifts really are going to bring smiles to lots of children’s faces."
