“I would like to say a huge thank you to all our customers who have generously given gifts to help spread joy this Christmas to those that would have otherwise gone without.”

Shoppers were asked to select a gift tag in store, detailing the age, gender and interests of a recipient, and purchased gifts were then dropped off at donation points.

The gifts were presented to a team from Family Support Work at the Rustington store on Friday.
