The Mayor of the Borough of Broxtowe, Councillor Richard MacRae, has thanked residents and schools for their generous donations to his 2021 Christmas Appeal.
This year’s Appeal saw local people and schools donate thousands of items for people in need at collection points across the Borough. All items donated will help support local foodbanks as well as the Mayor’s chosen charity, Broxtowe Youth Homelessness.
The Mayor said: “I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who donated an item to my Christmas Appeal. Your donations will make a huge difference to so many people and it is very much appreciated. I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.”
Broxtowe Youth Homelessness said “We have been overwhelmed by the support the Mayor’s Christmas appeal has had. Our young people are facing another difficult Christmas and to be able to offer them reassurance that we can provide them with some Christmas goodies and a few food items will mean a lot. We are grateful to everyone who donated and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.”
