James Duddridge, Member of Parliament for Rochford and Southend East, recently donated toys to the Toy Drive organised by Southend Borough Council.
Southend Borough Council were collecting donated gifts to ensure that all of Southend’s vulnerable children receive a gift at Christmas.
The donated gifts will be delivered to children’s centres, refuges or children’s parties run by local charities.
James said
“I was delighted to be able to support this fantastic initiative that ensures Southend’s vulnerable children have a gift at Christmas. Christmas time is yet another example of the community pulling together and looking out for others. I know all the children that receive these gifts will really appreciate them.”
