Local charity, Time is Precious, would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has donated gifts for their Christmas Present Appeal.

Neil Halford, from Coleford’s Time is Precious, told The Journal: “We are overwhelmed by the public’s generosity in the local area, who have donated over 250 amazing gifts.

“We took most into Bristol Children’s Hospital last Friday, and put a smile on so many young patients’ faces – we also gave to siblings as well. The remainder will go into the Royal United Hospital, Bath this coming week.

“We would like to say a special thank you to SoVisionIT in Midsomer Norton for all of their hard work, collecting and wrapping the presents, especially Accounts Administrator, Katharine, who has managed the entire process.

“Time is Precious would like to thank everyone who has supported us in 2018 and wishes everyone a Happy Christmas.”
