And still the toys keep flooding in thanks to your kindness!
TREMENDOUS - the support for our third annual Toy Appeal has
again been fantastic. You, our readers, have given your sup
port to our appeal which aims to bring Christmas cheer to Clitheroe families. ■ Working in partnership with the local
’ our office and the Salvation Army shop in Lowergate has been of an amazingly high standard. Boxes and boxes of-new items are now waiting to be taken out to children across the town, who have been identified as being in need by a variety of different agencies. With 10 days to go before Christmas,
Capt Elizabeth Smith, of Clitheroe Sal vation Army, has already got a list con taining more than 100 names and she expects that total to rise. “Everybody whose name is on the list will be given something, no one will be turned away,” she said. Although we have plenty of toys and
games for younger children, we are still appealing for presents which would be perfect for older children, particularly girls between the ages of 10 and 14. Some of the money given to the appeal will be spent on gifts for the girls, but any dona- tions would be gratefully welcomed. As a result we have decided to extend
the appeal for a few more days. Items can be left at our office in King Street until Tuesday or taken to the Salvation Army’s shop right up until Christmas Eve. • “Don’t be on your own on Christmas
Day, if you can spend it with company,” says Capt Smith. Together with Lt Brenda Wise, she will
be hosting a special festive meal on the 25th.

Keep all those windows and
