Summerfield is once again proudly supporting Taunton-based charity Christmas Sparkle, helping to spread festive cheer to disadvantaged children and families across the community.
The Christmas Sparkle project aims to ensure every child living in difficult circumstances in the local community receives a gift at Christmas and Summerfield is delighted to continue their support to the worthy cause.
Alongside providing office space at Victoria House for the charity to run its project, setting up donation drop off points and offering staff volunteers to help gift wrap, Summerfield has also donated a further £1,000 to support the Christmas Sparkle charity.
Gill Harrison from the Christmas Sparkle project said: “As in previous years we have had thousands of items generously donated allowing us to bring joy by sending gifts to several thousand babies and children and young people around Taunton and Wellington.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who is able to make a donation, and to Summerfield for the continued support in making sure that those in need really do have something to smile about this Christmas. Sadly, there are many families facing difficulties and experiencing hardship, through no fault of their own.”
Christmas Sparkle welcomes new items suitable for all ages, ranging from baby toys and clothes, puzzles, family games, toiletries, through to products for teenage girls and boys such as make-up and aftershave.
The Summerfield collection points in Taunton are the Summerfield head office, Tauntfield on South Road and the Eastside Canteen at Victoria House on Victoria Street.
James Holyday, Managing Director at Summerfield said: “Christmas Sparkle is a truly wonderful charity and we are delighted to be able to support each Christmas. Our staff always take great pleasure in getting involved, knowing how much these generous donations made will mean a lot to local families.”
