Leicester team give back to local community

16 Dec 2024

Our Leicester team has once again gone above and beyond during the festive season for its local community.

For the third year in a row, they have chosen to support a local charity ‘Toys on the Table’ with donations of boxes, toys, and their time.

Toys on the Table is a charity working in the Leicester and Leicestershire area which has enabled thousands of disadvantaged children, regardless of faith, to receive gifts during the festive period.

The charity distributes toys via referrals from social services, foodbanks, schools, and women’s aid groups. Toys on the Table started in the early 1980′s, when the Leicester Round Table 39 established the project. Last year they provided presents to almost 5,000 children of all backgrounds in Leicestershire and Rutland.

“It’s been fantastic to see the team, our customers and suppliers help out with collecting so many toys for this amazing charity,” said Georgie Spencer-Lockwood, Sales and Accounts co-ordinator who organises the campaign each year. “I was lucky enough to once again spend some time with the team wrapping the gifts with the other volunteer helpers, without whom none of this would happen.

“We have now delivered our donations to the charity’s ‘festive workshop’ so the volunteer elves can wrap, pick and pack the presents ready for the big day.”
