Spalding South Holland Centre giving tree supports Ukrainian children and the Lighthouse Project

Gifts donated by people in South Holland will be helping to brighten up the Christmas for children in need.

Children and adults from across the area have been dropping off presents at the Giving Tree in the South Holland Centre in recent weeks.

The initiative was organised by South Holland District Council chairman Paul Redgate to help refugee children from Ukraine and the Lighthouse Project in Spalding.

Some of the gifts were collected by Mandy Baxter from the Boxes of Hope project, which has been collecting donations for Ukraine for most of this year.

Coun Redgate has thanked residents for their support.
