The Friends of Pennthorpe have organised a collection as part of the Salvation Army Christmas Present Appeal.
You can help us spread the joy of Christmas to families whose children would otherwise not receive a gift. This year, we are expecting the number of families requesting help to rise as a result of the cost of living crisis.
