Aspect Holidays donated £1,500 worth of toys to children who would otherwise not have the luxury of presents on Christmas day.

For a few months the company were collections donations and the in November some of the team went down to Blewetts Toy Shop in Hayle to choose more than 100 gifts for children of all ages.

A further £300 was spent on wrapping paper, gift bags and tape to be given with the gifts so that parents/carers can wrap the presents themselves.

Having arranged to donate the toys to the Salvation Army, some of the team offered their support in preparing the gifts for collection and delivery.

Then in December, Jenna Ali, Bini Barnes, Rosina Perry, Gemma Taylor, Sue Basset and Stacey Kendall spent the week at Newquay’s Salvation Army helping church leader Martyn Coles prepare and deliver the gifts for local children.

Chair of the charity council at Aspects Holidays, Jenna Ali, said: “It’s been fantastic being able to give back to the community throughout 2022, and as we neared the end of the year, we wanted one final push to support people in our community who might not otherwise have the chance to celebrate Christmas.

“We hope that our donations helped to make a difference during the festive period, bringing people less fortunate some happiness this Christmas.”

Martyn Coles, who organised the Newquay Salvation Army toy appeal, said: “wwIt helped us to ensure that over 200 children in our local area had presents to open on Christmas morning.  Thank you so much for making a difference in their lives.”
