Wilson Browne Solicitors is supporting the NLive Christmas Present Appeal, which is collecting gifts for people in need across Northampton until 6 December.
The appeal brings together businesses, community organisations and residents to provide presents for people ranging from newborn babies and young families to older members of the community.
Employers can get involved by organising workplace collections, with gifts distributed through local community partners. These include the Doddridge Centre, Baby Basics Northampton, The Spring Charity and Northampton Hope Centre.
Wayne Jenkins, business development and marketing director at Wilson Browne Solicitors, said: “We’re pleased to support an appeal that gives local businesses and their teams a straightforward way to help people in our community. A collection at work or an extra present bought while Christmas shopping could make a real difference to someone who might otherwise go without.”
Baby Basics Northampton works with midwives, health visitors and other agencies to provide essential items for newborn babies and their mothers. The Spring Charity supports vulnerable families with young children, while the Doddridge Centre will share donated gifts with people who use its services.
Northampton Hope Centre will also receive donations to support people experiencing homelessness and hardship.
Collection points across Northampton include the Grosvenor Centre, Daily Bread, Duston Community Centre, The Good Loaf, Northampton Museum and Art Gallery and Wootton Community Centre.
Donated presents should be unwrapped. The appeal cannot accept food or used toys.
Businesses and residents can find collection locations and further information on the NLive Christmas Present Appeal website. Questions about donations or organising a collection can be sent to [email protected].
