The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Stores in Spalding and Long Sutton will again participate in Lincolnshire Co-op’s popular Santa’s Suitcase appeal.
After the success of last year’s collection for homelessness charities, Lincolnshire Co-op’s 13 travel branches are currently running the Santa’s Suitcase appeal – collecting presents which will be shared with local social inclusion groups.
It forms parts of Lincolnshire Co-op’s Community Champions scheme, which will see funds being raised for good causes across Lincolnshire and the surrounding areas who are combating loneliness for people over 50 throughout December, January and February.
People can pop by their local travel branch throughout November until December to help fill Santa’s suitcase, whether they’re booking a trip or simply walking by.
Presents such as knitted items, gift sets, confectionery and puzzles are suggested.
Head of Travel Wayne Dennett said: “We hope that lots of people will contribute to our collection so people who benefit from the services that social inclusion charities offer feel special this Christmas.
“Our local participating stores are Long Sutton and Spalding.”
