MANORLANDS is appealing for donations of unwanted Christmas presents.

The Oxenhope Sue Ryder hospice will sell the items at fundraising events to boost its coffers.

Senior fundraiser, Hayley Ibbotson, said: "This is the perfect opportunity to get rid of unwanted goods and support the hospice at the same time.

"People organising fundraisers for us often ask if we can help out by providing a few raffle or tombola prizes. We always do our best to oblige, but can only do this with the support of the local community donating gifts.

"Whether it's a box of smellies, a board game or a pair of slippers, we'd be so grateful for any unwanted items that would otherwise be left to gather dust or be thrown away."

Items can be taken to the Manorlands fundraising office weekdays, between 9am and 5pm.
