Folks, I opened my office just over a year ago so that people in the community would have somewhere warm and inviting to come for advice, information, and support.

But even in this short time, things have become increasingly difficult for people across our community.

Christmas will only make this more difficult.

That is why, from Friday, I will have a small selection of toys for children under the tree in my office. Any parent who needs something to put under the tree this year is welcome to pop in and take one, no questions or explanations.

If you would like to donate, you can drop a new or unwanted present in to my office any day and it will be put under the tree.

Alternatively, you can donate to my go fund me (second picture) and I will purchase the presents and place them under the tree for you.
