The Shropshire Star Christmas Toy Appeal has received a major boost – courtesy of Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
Lord Lieutenant Anna Turner hand over 100 toys donated by the Princess of Wales, inset, to the Shropshire Star Christmas Toy AppealThe donation was made through the princess’s charity, The Royal Foundation, to the Shropshire Lord Lieutenancy as part of a Christmas carol service.
Mrs Turner said the princess had offered 200 craft sets – donated by Hobbycraft – for the children of those in attendance. But having read about the Shropshire Star Christmas Toy Appeal, she asked if they could be donated to that instead, and the princess readily agreed.“She sent them a message to thank people for everything they had done for others.”“This is a lovely touch, and we are so grateful for this, and all the other contributions to the appeal,” he said.
They are now being collected and stored at a central location ahead of them being distributed to the charities so that they can go to children at Christmas.
