Leisure centre offers chance to give to the less fortunate
Wednesday, 3rd December 2014.
Haverhill Leisure Centre will be bringing some cheer to local children and adults who will be having a difficult time this Christmas.
Staff at Haverhill Leisure Centre this week launched their ‘Giving Tree Appeal’ to collect Christmas gifts for children. The gifts will be distributed to Addenbrooke’s Hospital children’s ward and St Nicholas Hospice Care.
A Christmas tree has been put up at the centre and visitors are invited to take a tag which will indicate the age range they should buy a gift for.
James Purkiss, manager of Haverhill Leisure Centre, said: “Many people very thoughtfully give to charities at this time of year but it is often those who are spending time in hospital or are very ill who get forgotten.
“We hope people will support our staff by adding one extra gift to their shopping list to help someone who is going through a tough time this Christmas.”
To take part in the Giving Tree Appeal just pop into reception at Haverhill Leisure Centre and take a tag from the tree. Buy your present and return it wrapped to reception where staff will keep it until Santa’s helpers make their delivery.
Please return any gifts to reception by Wednesday, December 17, ready for the centre to load Santa’s sleigh.
