THE Chard Christmas Present Appeal have given a heartfelt thanks to Chard Road Runners this week for their huge Christmas Present Appeal donation.

Chard Lord’s Larder, Chard Community Hub, and South Chard Hub have said they would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Chard Road Runners for their generous donation of 300 rolls of wrapping paper and 180 rolls of tape for the Chard Christmas Present Appeal.

"It’s wonderful to see our community come together to support families facing difficulties this Christmas," said Simon Hall, Chair of Chard Road Runners. "We are delighted to support such a meaningful initiative."

Because of their kindness, families being supported by the appeal can experience the magic of wrapping their children's presents, creating lasting memories for everyone to benefit from.

This wonderful support helps the Chard Christmas Present Appeal team bring the spirit of Christmas to families in need across the Chard community, and the team are deeply grateful for Chard Road Runners' contribution.

While the Christmas Present Appeal has now ended, residents of the Chard area who would still like to spread some kindness this Christmas are encouraged to get in touch to donate to one of the local food banks.
