Employees and Councillors at Buckinghamshire County Council to donate Christmas presents for vulnerable local children

An appeal has been launched so employees and Councillors at Buckinghamshire County Council can donate Christmas presents for vulnerable local children.

Now in its fifth year, the annual appeal sees County Council employees and County Councillors donate Christmas presents throughout November and December for disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people across the county.

The presents will be handed over to children and young people by members of the Council’s Children’s Services teams in time for Christmas.

Tolis Vouyioukas, Executive Director for Children’s Services at Buckinghamshire County Council, said: ‘Our employees are fantastic, caring people and for the last few years they’ve really committed to supporting our appeal by donating many hundreds, if not thousands, of presents.

We are thrilled to be running the collection again this year [2019] as we know how much all our staff want to help make Christmas that little bit better for children who otherwise might not receive much.

I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to every member of staff who brings in a present; it will make a real and tangible difference to the disadvantaged families we work with.

Supporting us with the appeal again this year are a number of local residents, community organisations and businesses who together provide a lot of support, for which we are very grateful.‘
